Colorado’s high country is rich with amazingscenery andbig, beautiful fish. Unfortunately,many of these highlandfisheries are impracticalto access. But thanks to veteranfishing guideand writer Phil Tereyla, over 60 mountainlakes inColorado that are under three miles to access inall corners of the state are now fully outlined andcoveredin this wonderful new flyfishingguidebook, the Flyfisher’sGuide to Colorado’sEasy Access Mountain Lakes(WildernessAdventures Press, 2021).

Difficulty to access does not equate to qualityfishing;many of Colorado’s easy-access alpinegems hostfantastic fishing for large trout,including lots of drive-tolakes and reservoirs.Most of these lakes also have thesamesignature scenery and solitude that has madeColorado so popular for fishing and otherwise.
