nice! what section of the fork is that? I'm going to be fishing rifle gap for pike tomorrow and if it is slow I'm gonna hit some trout up if the water is clear in any streams. Seems to be clear in the upper fork. Is bait allowed in that section?
I hope you see this in time - I was pretty tired last night and fell asleep on the couch. It's the upper woody Creek Canyon area, about half a mile below Aspen.
This is one of the more remote stretches of the Roaring Fork for fly fishermen.
Thankfully it is fly fishing only, catch and release.
The river is in a canyon, and it is away from the road, walk in only.
It gets fished pretty hard, but holds some big, beautiful rainbows.
Only downside is the runway approach to Aspen Airport is right over the river.
If you hear a plane coming, DUCK!
Thumper - you're right about those planes! They're pretty low by the time they come over you. But the fishing is so good and that stretch of the river is SO beautiful - I can live it.
onefishinfool,
Did you notice on your way up if the lower stretches of the Fork are getting dirty? The stretch between Carbondale and Glenwood? I'm thinking about hitting it Tuesday but don't want to be surprised with mud. :-\

Sorry - by the time I was where I could get a good look - I was up a ways farther. I was driving and I was trying to see it, but it was tough! I'd say try calling Roaring Fork Anglers in Glenwood or Alpine Angling in Carbondale. I've done buisness with both places and they're pretty good people.
The hot summer days and water levels going lower by the day and the crappies moving around after post spawn definitely made for a challenge finding them but persistence pays off!
I heard about the Arctic Grayling late last fall and I've been itching to target them...I went up with my buddy Remy and GF and had some GREAT SUCCESS!! Threw a wide variety of stuff with no action (for the graylings at least), we landed a big brown, some Brookies, some Colorado River Cutthroat...
Always wanted to figure the crappie and once I actually set out to do it I found hundreds! Limited out for the first time after trying for the whole month of June. Wasn't too hard once i honed in on the area where I located them. Fast forward 4 days later and today they were gone. Here is my...
Recently was up DEEP in the mountains fishing with my buddy...We came across a huge group of Colorado River Cutthroat Trout. We of course fished for them but we wanted to see if we could film them too. Luckily they were crowding around a small current provided by a little spring, flowing into...
