The south platte river below deckers used to be really cool and nice fishing but since the fire I dont know anymore.I mostly fish lakes in colo anymore,the best place to camp and fish on a river is the miracle mile,IMO.The white river near lake avery is neat also.If you want to backpack there is some excellent stream fishing/camping in the Lost Park Wilderness south of Kenosha pass.

hey jay if you dont mind the drive there are some nice places to camp on the way to big creek lake right by the strem there and the bonus is you can catch brookies in the stream or fish for trout or lakers in the lake. the only downfall is there are no picnic tables to sleep on. ;D

if you want to drive all the way down here there are a bunch of places to camp and fish right on the streams like texas creek for small browns midle taylor for brookies grape creek for browns and bows(mostly cutbows)

How about driving to Alma and turning up Buckskin Gulch? Buckskin Creek runs down from the Tenmile Range and the recent closure of the 14ers Lincoln/Democrat/Cameron/Bross to hikers should make the place a virtual ghost town. Buckskin has some beaver ponds located up the road and of course there is Kite Lake and Lake Emma at the end. I've never had any success at Kite Lake but have done well at Lake Emma which is only a 3/4 mile hike to the south, located at the base of Mount Democrat.

Plenty of primitive camping all along there too.

Where can I get some more info on this place and how do we get there???

Thanx

www.coloradodirectory.com is a good place to search for info and links on such.

Jay,

Very easy. From I-70 exit for Frisco then head south over Hoosier Pass. About 6 miles after Hoosier Pass you'll get to Alma. In the middle of the town you can make a right turn and that's the road up Buckskin Gulch - it goes for about 8-10 miles as I recall.

Or, if you come from 285 via Fairplay then go through Fairplay and Alma is about 4 miles north of it - turn left in the middle of town!

Enjoy and give us a good trip report (better fishing at Lake Emma, especially the obvious places like the outlet - the inlet is a little harder to get to).
