I see miles of river below Pueblo Reservoir, and some areas are Gold Medal Waters. How can I tell good places (and the gold medal waters) along that huge stretch to fly fish? Also not sure which roads to take to get to those places. I normally fish Dream Stream, Deckers and 11 Mile Canyon here near Florissant. Thank you. If there are maps answering my questions, would appreciate links to those maps.

I may be wrong but the gold medal waters are up river between Canon City up to and above Buena Vista. Below Pueblo reservoir you may find some trout but from there eastward is mostly warm water species.There are some Walleye below the dam.

Everything I've caught below the Dam has been Walleye, Pearch, Catfish and Bass. Great trout below to Res.

From the dam to I25 holds trout. The 4 miles below the dam is crowded with sporadic bwo hatches. Otherwise typical tail water nymphs. Rs2-wd40- midges.

Great. Perfect area for me. Hopefully it's a little warmer down there than up here near Lake George.

Cool. Would love to catch some walleye - supposedly great tasting fish.

Good tip on flies to use - similar to what I've learned to use up here.
