Our home river. The Poudre starts in Rocky Mountain National Park and eventually descends right through Fort Collins on its way to join the South Platte. Much like the Big Thompson, this drainage is fairly steep in gradient, but the valley is much broader and longer, giving more variety to the character of this river from a fishing standpoint. Those anglers looking for diversity find the upper river a mecca of dry fly opportunities. Nearby Zimmerman Lake offers opportunities to fish to Colorado's only native trout, the greenback cuttthroat. While still parked in the same location, Joe Wright Reservoir holds a self-sustaining population of Arctic grayling in addition to rainbow trout in a high alpine environment. We usually look to these upper elevation options during the morning hours when weather patterns are more stable and spend our time after lunch fishing for browns and rainbows on the main stem of the Poudre. Access is excellent on this drainage with the majority of the land being public, however some options may require a short hike.
