Badger Creek – Lower CR 12

Sourced from: http://www.anglerscovey.com/where-to-fish/pikes-peak-region

This lower section is accessed by a rough four-wheel drive road. Let me repeat, this is a challenging road and high-clearance vehicles are required. Because of the remoteness you will likely never see another angler here. Hiking is required. You have to walk through some private property before reaching the creek, so pass through respectfully then access the […]

Clear Creek is another one of the high mountain creeks that is full of small Brook Trout. The brookies are very willing to take most dry flies when presented with stealth. Counting the North Fork, there are over 15 miles of creek to fish.   The road above Winfield is rougher, making access a bit more difficult.
