Some of you are probably familiar with Tim Kelly's Fishing Guide for Colorado and perhaps some of you still have copies. It was out of publication for a number of years then a man by the name of Kip Kerry bought the rights to the book. His book was virtually identical to Tim's. His book did not last long.
Tim Kelly was a professor at CU in Boulder. He spent a lot of time fly fishing Colorado. When he began gathering his data for the book, he would also use information given to him by anglers. Everything is in black and white and there are few photos.
If I have to choose one book, out of the many available for a Colorado fishing guide, it would have to be even an out dated Tim Kelly, like the one published in the 1960s a friend found at a garage sale, a couple of years ago.
I have one I bought in the 80s. I spent many nights reading myself to sleep going over every page. I color coded, by rating, all the high mountain lakes and streams I wanted to explore then I would use the book to plan week long or day itineraries.
If you find one, get it.
