Eagle River

This month’s Moving Waters trip is to the Eagle River. The Eagle River is a tributary of the Colorado River and spans over 60 miles through west central Colorado. This beautiful freestone river originates at the Continental Divide near the Mount of the Holy Cross and Camp Hale landmarks. Beginning at the Divide, it travels north until it reaches the Vail Valley to which it turns west where it merges with Gore Creek before ultimately spilling into the Colorado River near Dotsero. 

The Eagle offers a variety of fishing styles and is generally friendly to anglers of all skill sets.

Meet at 7:45AM at the Park-n-Ride at C-470 and University Boulevard, the SW quadrant, specifically. Here’s the address: 8392 S Burnley Ct., Highlands Ranch, CO 80126.

Questions or to RSVP, contact Harlan Husmann at (701) 893-6068 or harlan.husmann@outlook.com. 

If you want to mark the future dates on your calendar, here are the tentative dates for next few (all Saturdays):

• September 23
• October 14

(I may have a conflict with a trip later in the season, so I’m looking for someone who would be willing to co-pilot a trip in my stead. If you are willing, please contact me, Harlan, at the above email address.)
