River Head Waters This
section is the true head-waters of our regions largest
drainage. The river starts as a small creek above Silverton
Colorado, some 40 miles north of Durango. This is high
altitude environment with signs of the rich mining history
at every turn. Aspens and pines line the hillsides and
the streams run gin clear with stunning brookies, bows
and native cutthroats. Very special fish in a stunning
environment. Another unique and exciting aspect to our
guided adventures here are the side trips to old historic
towns, settlements and mines. Step back in time for a
true old west adventure. Our guided trips north of Durango
near Silverton Colorado are, in essence, a combination
of guided fly fishing with a scenic driving (jeep) tour. The
season
is spring through late October.
