The South Platte River, Elevenmile Canyon Reservoir to Chatfield Reservoir Fishing & River Map Guide is designed to be the perfect companion for anyone recreationally on the South Platte, from Elevenmile Canyon Reservoir to the southwest suburbs of Denver. The South Platte below Elevenmile Canyon is very different from the flat meanders found upstream. It enters almost immediately into a series of steep canyons and recreation areas managed by the Pike National Forest before joining the Front Range at Waterton Canyon.
Each Fishing & River Map Guide includes detailed river maps at a scale of 1 inch = 1/2 mile. At this scale, every river bend and rapid is clearly depicted and labeled. Each page is centered on the river and overlaps with adjacent pages, making it easy to find any spot along the river. The maps include river miles, access points, private and public lands, gauging stations, recreation sites, and more.
Pat Dorsey, one of Colorado's most respected fly fishing guides and authors, wrote the introduction, along with descriptions of specific fly fishing strategies and seasonal river fluctuations. You'll also find stream flow charts, hatch charts, and a table of river access points.
More convenient and easier to use than folded maps, yet just as compact and lightweight, National Geographic's Fishing & River Map Guide booklets are printed on waterproof and tear-resistant Backcountry Tough paper with stainless steel staples. A complete UTM grid is printed on the map for easy GPS navigation.
