Try http://www.royalgorgeanglers.com/ they are in Canon City and do work
on the Arkansas River that runs through that area. It is a brown trout
river, with very few rainbows. There are plenty of campgrounds on that
section of the river and lots of public access to the river. The river
flows very a great deal and you can get hourly updates at
http://dwr.state.co.us/Hydrology/flow_search.asp . Just look at a Colorado
map and pick where you might be fishing and find stations close to that
area. There are a lot of feeder streams into the river so the flows vary
all along the river. Flows below 4-500 ft give you a lot of wading areas.

I still consider myself somewhat of a newcommer to fly fishing having only
been at it now for a little over a year. However, I truly enjoy it. My
local waters are the tailwaters formed by the dam system in Arkansas.
However, next year, I would like to take a vacation of sorts that would be
just for me and my fly rod. I have been considering Colorado, as that
would
be a fairly easy drive and my wife and I have friends in the Colorado
Springs area. So, she could visit with them while I go commune with the
trout.

I don't know anyone with fly fishing experience in Colorado, though. So, I
thought I would ask this group if anyone has any experience there and has
suggestions for times, places, guides, etc. I know there were some fires
there recently, but I do not know if this has affected the fly fishing. I
recently saw a couple of episodes of the Fly Fishing Masters tournament on
OLN, and they were fishing the Little Snake River at Three Forks Ranch. I
was very impressed by the size and quantity of the trout they were
landing.
However, Three Forks is a little pricey for my budget. Thanks for any
suggestions.
