| Turkey Creek: This is one of my favorites, of the small creeks
that we guide. We can fish this section of river most of the summer and into the fall, and
almost never see anyone all day. It is a small creek 4-8 feet wide in most places and a
little over grown in some sections and wide open in others. It is a freestone river (no
dam) lots of big boulders and pocket water mixed with plunge pools and fast drops. This
great little river offers one of the better shots at a big fish then any of the other
creeks in the area. We see fish in the 12-15" class often on this creek. It is easy
to access there is a short down hill hike to the river about ¼ mile. This wonderful
little river is full of bookies, browns, bows, and a few cuts and run from 8-15".
Most fish on this river are suckers for dry flies and a #16 yellow stone or a caddis are
some of the best bugs. A small beadhead dropper is sometimes fished in the deeper runs but
we MUCH prefer to fish all dry flies here. The setting is Breathtaking 10,000 foot peaks
all around you and nothing but miles and miles of pines, aspen, and unspoiled wilderness.
All the small creeks in this area are truly solitary angling at it best; after all you
came here to get away form it all right!
