Together, we were able to donate $20,000 through the Bronco Wild Fund to the Roaring Fork Fishing Guide Alliance for help in the restoration of the West Bank Boat Ramp — a public access point that had been in critical need of repair.

What was once a deteriorating launch is now a safer, more accessible space thanks to months of planning, construction, restoration, and the dedication of so many people who care deeply about these waters.
This project isn’t just about a boat ramp—it’s about protecting access, supporting local anglers and guides, and ensuring future generations can continue to experience the Roaring Fork Valley the way it was meant to be.

A huge thank you to Bronco Wild Fund for believing in grassroots conservation and empowering individuals to make tangible change in the communities they love. We’re incredibly grateful to the Roaring Fork Fishing Guide Alliance for the work they continue to do to protect our fisheries and public access.

🚨 PLEASE SHARE — Help us spread the word. 🐟🌡️

The Colorado River is officially a no-go for us right now.

With overnight temperatures not even dropping below 65°F around Glenwood Springs, water temperatures farther downstream are getting too warm for trout. Instead of adding more stress to fish already struggling with low oxygen levels, we’re shifting our trips to the upper freestones and tailwaters like the Frying Pan.

Our fisheries need a break during these hot spells. A few weeks of patience can make a big difference for the trout and the future of our fishery.

If you’re unsure where to fish or have questions, stop by Glenwood Springs Outdoors and we’ll help point you in the right direction.

Let’s do our part to protect the resource we all love. 💙

Please share this with your fishing buddies so more anglers can help protect our trout

🚨 SHARE THIS WITH A FRIEND WHO FISHES THE COLORADO RIVER 🚨

🥵 Let’s talk hot water. 🥵

We’re already seeing water temperatures climb into the mid to upper 60s on the Colorado River during the late afternoon, and that’s not good news for our trout. By around 3 PM, conditions can become stressful enough that it’s time to get off the water and give these fish a break.

The good news? The fishing has been lights out if you’re willing to set that alarm clock early. We’ve been seeing strong hatches of Red Quills, caddis, PMDs, and midges, with fish actively feeding throughout the morning hours.

If you’re planning a day on the river, get your butt out of bed and be on the water by 6 or 7 AM. Not only will you find cooler water and happier trout, but you’ll also hit the best hatch activity of the day.

As anglers, it’s on us to protect the resource we love. Fish early, handle trout carefully, and call it a day when water temperatures start climbing.

What water temperature do you personally stop fishing at? Drop it in the comments below 👇🎣

The fight against Aquatic Nuisance Species starts with all of us.
~
In October 2025, Colorado Parks and Wildlife detected both zebra mussels and New Zealand mud snails in the Roaring Fork Valley. While these invasive species are here, we can still prevent them from spreading to new waters. The challenge? Zebra mussels and mudsnails begin life as microscopic larvae that can survive in even the smallest drop of water. That’s why guides, anglers, and boaters need to clean, drain, and dry their gear every time they leave the water.
~
As guide Kyle Holt explains, the process is simple: wipe down your boat, remove any dirt or debris, and give it time to dry. A few extra minutes today can help protect our fisheries for years to come. Help protect the rivers you love. Spread the word, not Aquatic Nuisance Species.

What if the biggest threat to your favorite river is something you can’t even see?
~
Aquatic Nuisance Species like zebra mussels and New Zealand mud snails are spreading across Colorado waterways, disrupting ecosystems and competing with the insects that trout depend on. Once they’re established, they’re nearly impossible to remove.
~
Taylor Thackston of Frying Pan Anglers explains why it’s so important for anglers to do their part by cleaning, draining, and drying their gear after every trip. A few extra minutes at the end of the day can help protect the fisheries we all love. Need to clean your waders? Washing stations can be found at Frying Pan Anglers, Taylor Creek Fly Shop, Roaring Fork Conservancy, Redstone Mercantile, and Crystal Fly Shop.
