Cache La Poudre Fly Fishing
Remaining as one of Colorado’s only undammed rivers, The Cache la Poudre River is breathtaking. Only minutes away from our shop, this is the water our guide trip clients spend the most time fishing. From its humble beginnings in Rocky Mountain National Park, the river descends north through the mountains to Roosevelt National Forest where it meanders east into the wild and scenic Poudre Canyon. Driving down through the Poudre canyon, if you aren’t too distracted by the amazing sights, you will soon find the Cache la Poudre river emerging just outside of Fort Collins. The Poudre river eventually winds it's way through the town of Fort Collins proper.
With the right flies and locations, most angler’s can find success year-round. Taking a Poudre River guide trip with St. Peter’s Fly Shop is a unique experience regardless of the season and our guides will ensure the day is fun and educational. Winter fishing on the Cache la Poudre will test your skill with excitable trout eating flies the size of a pinhead. During the Fall and Spring, the brown and rainbow trout spawn making for an aggressive fish that will attack any well animated streamers. If you wish to pursue rising fish during a Poudre River guide trip, the spring and summer months offer hatches of several insects in great abundance. Last but not least, the Cache la Poudre offers an amazing terrestrial season during the summer when fish are excited, opportunistic, and ready to gorge. The Cache la Poudre River runs along Highway 14 for a whopping 48 miles. An Angler can easily find themselves fishing just 30 minutes from their home or with the ability to chase solitude in the back country of the upper Cache la Poudre. A Poudre River guide trip is a must for anyone visiting the Fort Collins area.
