Colorado Parks & Wildlife
The 'Dream Stream' is the tailwater section of the South Platte River between Spinney Mountain Reservoir and Eleven Mile Reservoir, renowned for trophy brown and rainbow trout. This Gold Medal, Wild Trout water offers some of the best large-trout fly fishing in Colorado, with fish commonly exceeding 20 inches. Anglers should use small midge and PMD patterns and expect technical presentations in clear, slow-moving water.
