WildTroutStreams.com is a website I created in 2006 and expanded over the years. It's a non-commercial site, and all of the data on it is downloadable for free. We provide mapping data (typically in KML format) about where to find wild and native trout in 38 states: every state in CONUS that supports wild trout.
We've recently been working on expanding our coverage of CO and I just put up a series of data files that many of you may find useful. I'm most proud of a file that maps every cutthroat stream in the state of Colorado, combining information that previously was only available in nearly a dozen separate documents. You can see the image below. A second file just posted provides an enhanced version of TU's Conservation Success Index (which adds info useful for fish-finding) for the three cutthroat variants native to CO. We also just updated a file which shows the extent of streams listed as Class 1 Coldwater Aquatic Life. And, finally, a KMZ that maps all of CO's specials regs streams. I'll be adding some additional files over the next few weeks, so stay tuned.
To use any of these files you'll need to download them from our website and load them into an appropriate viewer. Google Earth is the most popular, but there are other free products such as ESRI's ARCgis Explorer, and the National Map website. There's extensive info on WildTroutStreams.com website about how to do this.
Please enjoy the site, and I'm happy to answer anybody's questions.
