 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

set for the day. Note these special rules for the White
River:
