{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Creede Colorado

I love Creede and almost bought a business there last summer. There isn't a ton of shore access on the Rio Grande and it is likely too late in the year for a float because they got no snow last winter. Check out this map -  http://www.coloradodirectory.com/fishing/fishing_creedewest.html it has a pretty good listing of the public access to the Rio Grande and the feeders. You might not run into many hatches and certainly not any of the big stones this late, but your common attractors will work. Also hoppers are great by now. Both fly shops are great, but different. One is your standard fly shop, the other is more like an old west general store (Creede Guide and Outfitters). Go to both as it takes a total of 5 minutes to walk between them. 

Eat lunch/dinner at the Tommyknocker and order the Honeywagon if you are looking for where the locals eat and drink. Also an excellent spot to get in a fight with the miner's that are back to open up the silver mines again if you go after work. Seriously, don't throw the hairy eye ball in there. Kip's Grill is also a fantastic food spot. Great taco's, great outdoor seating on the main drag and the best mixed drinks in town.

Totally jealous of your trip,

Brad

I'm heading to Creede, CO on Thursday for four days of fishing at the 4UR ranch and spending time with my sister. I've got most of my time accounted for except Friday morning. Do y'all know of any easy fishing access in that area? I'd like to have a little practice before I really get into it. More importantly, does anyone have a recommendation on what fly shop to stop by? The two listed in the town are Rod & Reel and Creede Guide & Outfitters.
