Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Guide recommendation Aspen?

I fished with John Hunt on the Roaring Fork a few years ago with my wife and we had a great day, very satisfied. jfhunt@me.com; 13143083401. 

I've fished out there a bunch of times because my aunt has a house in Carbondale. I would do both DIY and a float with a guide. The Frying Pan is an epic river that is pretty accessible/wadeable. Not so much for the Roaring Fork. Although you could wade fish it, it's just that there's a lot of private land on it so access isn't as good. I would skip the toilet bowl, personally, and I hear they closed it because someone drowned. Lower Canyon to Quaalude Corner was a really fun wade hike for me. I've attached a picture of the board with all the public access on the Frying Pan for your information.

The hatches are better on the Frying Pan with technical fishing, whereas the Roaring Fork is an awesome freestone river with slightly less selective fish (try a Pat's Rubber Legs). Both are a blast to fish. The Crystal River has trout as well but also a lot of whitefish I hear.

Check out Pine Creek Cookhouse if you have time while you're up there too. It's always a beautiful time of year to visit that place, and the food is top notch. There's some fishing near there too.
