Fishing

 

Behind this mighty fisherman lies the Oak Ridge & Lake Avery State Wildlife Area.  It's a man-made reservoir that is stocked by the Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) every year.  Most people catch and release but kids can keep 2 and adults 4.  Fish from the shore or you can bring a small boat.

 

Serious fly fisherman enjoy the entire length of the White River www.coloradofishing.net .  A quick drive to the bottom of the hill and you're set for the day.  Note these special rules for the White River:
