If you are a Rocky Mountain fly fisherman and you enjoy catching monster-sized trout, the Taylor River in Colorado should be near the top of your list of rivers to visit. Unlike most Rocky Mountain rivers where anglers dream of a 20-inch trophy fish, anglers on the Taylor have thoughts of 30+ inch fish, with a 40-inch fish landed several years ago.

I would like to tell you a little about fishing the Roaring Fork last week…
We arrived in Aspen on Tuesday morning and went straight to one of my favorite fishing spots; it is located in the “canyon” directly across from the Aspen Airport. The hike down to the river is steep and dangerous. I learned that the harder it is to get to a river in Colorado, the better the fishing. The Roaring Fork was flat-out moving. Its flows were almost double the average for this time of year.
