Brown Trout
Roaring Fork
On The Water
Rainbow
Chasing trout on the Roaring Fork, Colorado River, and the wild streams of the Rocky Mountains.
One of Colorado's premier fly fishing destinations, running right through Glenwood Springs. The Roaring Fork holds exceptional populations of brown and rainbow trout, particularly in the Gold Medal stretch below Basalt.
The Colorado River through Glenwood Canyon and the upper stretches near Kremmling offer some of the most diverse fishing in the state — from technical tailwaters to big freestone water.
Just up the valley from Basalt, the Fryingpan is renowned for its trophy trout and challenging technical fishing below Ruedi Reservoir. A must-fish destination for any serious angler in western Colorado.
Matt Splitt is a fly fisherman based in Glenwood Springs, Colorado — one of the finest spots in the American West to be a trout angler. The confluence of the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers is practically in his backyard.
When he's not on the water, Matt is a futures trader, developer, and entrepreneur — owner of Market Income Trader and creator of FolioEagle, an AI-powered portfolio monitor for self-directed investors.
