Summary: The Cache la Poudre is Colorado's only nationally designated Wild and Scenic River. Starting high in the peaks of Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park along the Continental Divide, the river flows down a rocky canyon through the Roosevelt National Forest, dropping 7,000 feet in elevation along the way. Many recreational opportunities abound along and on the river, including scenic drives, camping, picnicking, fishing, rafting, hiking, mountain biking and wildlife viewing.

Fishing Report:

Runoff season is quickly approaching. The best fishing will be in slower seams near the banks. Nymphing large bugs such as stoneflies and worms will have the most success in turbulent and dirty water. Streamers are an optoin as well for fish looking for a large pre-runoff meal. Remember to always monitor river flows and always carry appropriate personal safety gear.
