Body of Water

Description

This is walk-in access only through Gateway Natural Area and is a fly and lure-only, catch-and-release fishing opportunity for brown trout and rainbow trout. This stretch of river encompasses the reach from Seaman Reservoir downstream to the confluence with the mainstem Poudre River. Fishing pressure is high and trout are educated, but there are high abundances of trout with quality fish (14 inches and greater) present.

Special Regulations

  1. Fishing is by artificial flies and lures only.
  2. All trout must be returned to the water immediately upon catch.

Be a Pain in the ANS!

If you use water, aquatic nuisance species (ANS) can affect you. For example, Zebra and quagga mussels clog up the infrastructure that delivers water to our homes. Keeping invasive species under control is a matter of public health.
