Spent a frustrating and mostly fruitless week trying to fish the "Gold Medal" trout streams of Colorado some years ago, driving and driving and driving to try to find access to the water. Yes, you can get on the Roaring Fork (better be a fearless wader!) and the Frying Pan (along with a few hundred (thousand?) others on the non-posted stretches but other "Gold Medal" highly touted streams and rivers? Let me put it this way: at the entrance of one long dirt road to a famous river there was a sign that said "If you trespass here you will be sorry!" From what I hear, it's even worse now, not only there but up in WY and MT too - with rich Hollywood pukes buying up mile after mile of streams and rivers and hiring armed guards to patrol. Yes, we have some serious access issues here but it is not even close to what fishermen face on many of the famous streams and rivers in the Rockies.
