In the upper reaches of the South Platte basin, the Middle and South Fork (above Antero) are classic freestone streams (with beaver ponds) that are consistently inconsistent with regard to flow, water temperature, clarity, hatches, and many other variables such as freezing up during the winter months. In comparison, the tailraces (i.e. below Antero and Spinney Mountain Reservoir) are much more predictable, providing anglers with a consistent year-round fishery. This \u003ci\u003eFishing \u0026amp; River Map Guide\u003c\/i\u003e includes the area between Spinney Mountain and Elevenmile Reservoirs known as the \"Dream Stream\", known for producing some of the biggest trout in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach \u003ci\u003eFishing \u0026amp; River Map Guide\u003c\/i\u003e includes detailed river maps at a scale of 1 inch = 1\/2 mile. At this scale every turn in the river and rapid is clearly shown and labeled. Each page is centered on the river and overlaps with the adjacent pages so finding any location along the river is easy. The maps include river miles, access points, private and public lands, gaging stations, recreation sites, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePat Dorsey, one of Colorado's most renowned fly fishing guides and authors, has written the introduction as well as descriptions of specific fly fishing strategies and seasonal fluctuations found on the river. Also included are stream flow charts, hatch charts, and a table of river access points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore convenient and easier to use than folded maps, but just as compact and lightweight, National Geographic's \u003ci\u003eFishing \u0026amp; River Map Guide\u003c\/i\u003e booklets are printed on \"Backcountry Tough\" waterproof, tear-resistant paper with stainless steel staples.
