WHAT TO BRING

The weather in Colorado can be quite unpredictable. Fishing at elevation is amazing, but can bring rapid changes in temperature, wind, and precipitation. To assist you with being more prepared for your day on the water, here is a list of items you should consider having:

  • Polarized Sunglasses
  • Baseball Cap/Brimmed Hat
  • Sunscreen
  • Some lunch or other snacks
  • Insect Repellent
  • Rain Gear
  • Socks
  • Layered clothing for wearing under waders (i.e. long johns, fleece pants, etc. jeans are not recommended under waders, as they can be uncomfortable and do not wick moisture well).

For winter wade trips, the key will be warmth so you will need to take extra care to ensure that you have warm undergarments and socks. You will be dressing for snow conditions.
