Sector I Upper EAGLE river – wade fishing
Private water – access competition days only
Eagle River (Edwards-Wolcott) The Eagle River is an excellent freestone river with prolific hatches. It flows from high above Camp Hale south of Redcliff to its confluence with the Colorado River in Dotsero. It is most famous for the prolific Caddis hatches that come off in the spring and early summer. The Eagle is noted for its excellent dry fly fishing for wild brown and rainbow trout. Thank you to James Jouflis, Vail Rod & Gun Club, Lazy J Ranch, and Minturn Anglers for access to this private water.
Sector II Lower EAGLE river – wade fishing
Private water – access competition days only
The Eagle River will provide a second championship venue down river from Sector I. A river so good it must be fished twice! Thank you to James Jouflis, Vail Rod & Gun Club, Lazy J Ranch, and Minturn Anglers for access to this private water.
Sector III COLORADO river – wade fishing
Colorado River hosted at the Colorado River Ranch is a classic wide open river venue. The Upper Colorado below Gore Canyon meanders through the spectacular canyon country offering not only outstanding fishing, but also an unforgettable setting. The only thing that rivals the beauty of these canyons are the trout you will encounter.
