Fly Fishing the Southern Rockies: Small Streams and Wild Places

Fishing small streams in the southern Rocky Mountains. Discover the tiny streams tucked in among the famous rivers you read about. Paul takes you to his favorite special places, offering detailed instructions on where/when to go and how to fish them.

Paul B. Downing, author of Handbook of Western Fly Fishing and Rocky Mountain Regional Editor of Fly Fish America, has spent the last 23 years fishing extensively throughout the Rocky Mountains. A Lifetime Member of Trout Unlimited, he fell in love with the small streams he encountered while exploring the nooks and crannies of the Rockies. Noted for his clear, concise writing, he shares his experiences, secret locations, love of the West and the fish that live there.

Join Paul as he carefully directs you to his “special places” in COLORADO, NEW MEXICO and WYOMING. Fish for rainbows, browns, brookies and cutthroats. Not only will you catch fish, but you will be in some of the most beautiful country in the West.

“...like a treasure hunt for fly fishers who enjoy out-of-the-way spots.” Jim Othrow, Avid Fly Fisher.

“Made me want to grab a pole and go fishing.” Carol Cunningham, Wildlife Artist.
