A Fly Fisher’s Guide To Colorado’s Lost Lakes and Secret Places:

If you have ever wanted to fish in the most beautiful lakes Rocky Mountain National Park has to offer or explore secret sections of remote canyons in Grand junction, Mike Kephart's Flyfisher's Guide to Colorado's Lost Lakes and Secret Places is for you, or the angler you love this holiday season. Trout caught in the alpine are some of the most rewarding experiences an angler can have. Those secret places that only you know about make going back time and time again so special. However, getting direction on where to begin can be difficult. That is why a Flyfisher's Guide to Colorado's Lost Lakes and Secret Places is an incredible resource for those looking to get off the beaten path and explore those areas of Colorado less traveled. If you are the type of angler interested in exploring the hidden gems of Colorado, lakes people forgot about years ago, creeks off the beaten path? Give this book a read and get a good understanding of the Colorado high country.

Colorado's high elevation mountain lakes offer spectacular vistas and tremendous fishing opportunities. Until now, information was spotty, and voyages into the backcountry weren't always productive. Veteran angler Mike Kephart gives you the report on which Colorado mountain and wilderness lakes and creeks fish well, how to get there, the difficulty of access, and what you can expect to catch. Mike does a great job at answering a ton of reader questions so you can be prepared the next time you want to explore Colorado's mountain lakes. These largely untapped fisheries can be off the table to anglers who can't invest the time and effort required to access them only to find poor fishing. The author has paid his dues and yours to open up some of these beautiful fisheries.
