Well, technically a wiper but still. Was fishing for pike but this guy hit instead. Crushed the glide bait

First Kokanee on my fly rod (and ever)

I showed this to someone and they thought it might be a pureback greenback trout. If true, it was caught in a location that is not known to have them, and no history of stocking in the CPW fishing atlas. I assumed it was a cuttie, but now am curious.

Can someone tell me what kind of trout this is?

Edit: I wrote to CPW, providing a few additional pictures and the location where I caught it. They responded with the following: "Nice catch. I am gonna say that this is most likely not a greenback. A lot of cutthroats were stocked around the state in the 19th century that were believed to be greenbacks but after genetic research they were not and were a "mutt" of multiple strains of cutthroat. To me this looks like a blue lineage cutthroat trout, a strain of the colorado river cutthroat."

Hey guys I used to live in CO for a few years and unfortunately had to move. I am visiting Denver in 1 week and I’m super excited to fish for my favorite fish ever: trout. When I lived there I made many trips to the dream stream St Mary’s glacier black canyon of the gunnison and many more rivers and streams. I have never caught a kokanee and I would absolutely love to catch one I just don’t know where to go. I saw one time at the dream stream but my girlfriend is also coming with me and she’s never caught a fish. I want to take her to somewhere where she can for sure catch a fish, somewhere I can catch a kokanee, and somewhere that isn’t too treacherous to drive to bc I drive a mustang. I am fishing with spinning rods using rooster tails, trout magnets, and night crawlers for her so that she can get a guaranteed catch. I only have one pair of waders that go up to my hip my old waders that went up to my chest have a hole in the pant leg.

My usual fishing buddies are now busy with kids, so I’m looking for fishing buddies in the Denver area. I’m open to fish the South Park area and almost any area that’s within 2-3 hours drive.

Mostly fly fishing, open to others, DM me for more detail

Fitting that these zombies are about as Halloween nears

I found a fly rod and reel combo today at Spinney Mountain Reservoir . Would like to get it back to the rightful owner. Feel free to message me for details if it’s your rod or someone you know.

Will be spin casting from shore with my son and want to pick one weekend in the next few to hit 11 mi. Never been there. Where would you pick for your home base? Any other tips appreciated. Thank you!

I mostly bass fish and haven't had much luck at cherry creek, quincy, aurora, thornton gravel ponds, chatfield or bringham. My best fishing has been at wash park. I'm gonna try lowell ponds next. Then it's on to throwing nightcrawlers and sitting in a chair waiting for whatever catfish or carp bites it. I usually kayak fish. I also know a few holes filled with tons of carp and I'm just about desperate enough to go after them with some worms.

Had a BWO hatch for about an hour in the morning, then was able to get a couple on ants/beetles

Beautiful day!

Size estimates? Thinking around 22in or so

Hi there. Long time lurker first time poster. And it’s an unfortunate post. I left my fly rod on the side of the road by the Arkansas river in between Buena Vista and Leadville. I won’t go into details up front but I know the exact location and can give a description of it. Probably a long shot but well worth it. Please, please say someone found it and turned it in or is waiting to see this post? I’m gonna make the two hr drive down there regardless but I’d be much happier if I knew I was getting it back. It has some sentimental value to me as it’s the first rod my uncle gave me to get me into fly fishing. DM me if you have any info!

Caught is a very small stream in IPW. I’ve only caught a few cuttys before but this is surely unfamiliar.

Caught this beauty at Mohawk Lake

Hi everyone! I am writing an editorial article for my college English class on Amendment 83. We need to conduct our own research for our papers, so I have made a Google Forms survey with some brief questions about the initiative. If you have the time, I would greatly appreciate your responses! The link is posted below. Thank you so much in advance!

got a few from the wooly bugger and a ton of top water bites on the foam ant. this one got hooked in the fin somehow

I don’t know about other places but here it feels stupidly easy to catch them, just a jerkbait with line no more than 8lb test and slay them all day. Even the bigger ones like to come out to play fairly often. Makes me wonder why people think it’s so hard?

This isn’t really taking extreme fishing pressure into account (ex: Taylor tailwaters, Dream stream, cheesman), but even fairly high pressure fisheries (ex: Taylor river far below tailwaters, gunnison river) feel not that difficult to get them.

Is it just because I live in Colorado?

I caught this fella in a pond with a dry dropper!

I was fishing the DSP with a buddy yesterday and we found one of the ducks that hangs out in this spot a lot tangled in line and stuck in a bush. This picture was after about ten minutes of cutting since she wasn't fighting us and I thought it should be documented.

Luckily there were no hooks on her and she didnt swallow any line. Made a full recovery.

But I think we can do better as a community. Please dont leave trash at the fishing spots. It can be detrimental to ecosystems that are only growing more fragile.

I’m going to be in Silverthorne/Breck tomorrow and was hoping to bag a salmon. Obviously we all know the flows are terrible. Has anyone had any luck on the Blue, Green Mountain Reservoir, up near Kremmling, etc?
