River Headwaters
This
section is the true headwaters 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. Creeks
