On The Water
Matt Splitt is a fly fisherman based in Glenwood Springs, Colorado — situated at the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers, one of the finest spots in the American West to be a trout angler.
He fishes primarily the Roaring Fork drainage — the main stem from Aspen to Glenwood, the Fryingpan River below Ruedi Reservoir, and the Colorado River through Glenwood Canyon. These Gold Medal and Blue Ribbon waters offer world-class dry fly and nymph fishing throughout the season.
The Sport
Fly fishing for Matt is equal parts patience and precision — a discipline that mirrors the analytical focus he brings to trading markets and software development. Reading water, matching hatches, presenting a fly with accuracy — these are problems to be solved through observation and craft.
His photography from the water can be found at matthewsplitt.org, where landscapes and riverside scenes are documented across Colorado's Western Slope.
Beyond The River
Matt is the owner of Market Income Trader, Inc. — providing automated futures software and trading signals to futures traders. He also created FolioEagle, an AI-powered portfolio monitor for self-directed investors.
