The South Platte River Cheesman Canyon and Deckers Area:
This tailwater section of the South Platte River starts below Cheesman Reservoir and is
one of the most fabled stretches of western trout water. Located about one hour
southwest of Denver Colorado, and also close to Colorado Springs, this classic trout
fishery one of the most fabled stretches of western trout water. Summer of 2002 saw
extreme drought followed by the infamous Haymen fire that burned thousands of acres
in the South Platte River Basin drainage. The river ran black from ash for almost a year.
Today the river has returned quickly to its former glory as a premier fly fishing
destination. There are excellent hatches, lots of trout, and some beautiful rainbows and
browns for anglers to enjoy.

area and rediscover a great natural resource easily accessible from Colorado Springs
