## Fly Fishing the South Platte River: Colorado’s Most Complete Guide

The South Platte River isn’t just a Colorado classic — it’s a whole family of rivers, canyons, tailwaters, forks, and reservoirs. Depending on where you stand, it can feel like a high-country meadow stream full of eager brookies, a graduate-school classroom for technical trout, or an urban waterway where carp test your drag. In short: it’s the river system that has something for everyone.

This guide covers the **best overall section**, the **most overlooked gem**, and a **full breakdown of every major stretch, fork, and reservoir** worth fishing on the South Platte.

## The Best Overall Section: Cheesman Canyon

![South Platte River Fly Fishing Report Cheesman Canyon-1](https://risebeyondflyfishing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Spring%202025%20River%20Report%20Banners/South%20Platte%20River%20Fly%20Fishing%20Report%20Cheesman%20Canyon-1.png?width=1600&height=900&name=South%20Platte%20River%20Fly%20Fishing%20Report%20Cheesman%20Canyon-1.png)

If you only had one day on the South Platte, Cheesman Canyon is the section to fish.

- **Why it’s the best**: It’s a tailwater that fishes 365 days a year with strong insect life, stable flows, and trophy trout.
- **What makes it special**: Gin-clear water, picky fish, and some of the most technical nymphing in the state.
- **Pro tip**: Bring 6X or 7X tippet and a long leader. Presentation matters more than pattern here.

Cheesman will humble you, but it will also make you a better angler.

## The Most Overlooked Section: Waterton Canyon

![South Platte River Fly Fishing Report Waterton Canyon](https://risebeyondflyfishing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Spring%202025%20River%20Report%20Banners/South%20Platte%20River%20Fly%20Fishing%20Report%20Waterton%20Canyon.png?width=1600&height=900&name=South%20Platte%20River%20Fly%20Fishing%20Report%20Waterton%20Canyon.png)

Just 30 minutes from downtown Denver, Waterton Canyon is an underrated stretch below Strontia Springs Reservoir.

- **Why it’s overlooked**: Everyone drives past it chasing Cheesman or Deckers.
- **Why you should fish it**: Wild browns and rainbows, gorgeous canyon scenery, and a good chance of spotting bighorn sheep on the hike in.
- **Access**: No cars allowed — it’s hike or bike only, which keeps pressure lower than other front-range options.

On a weekday, you might have this canyon nearly to yourself while Deckers is shoulder-to-shoulder.

## Full List of South Platte River Segments

Here’s the complete breakdown of every major stretch, fork, and reservoir that makes the South Platte one of Colorado’s most versatile fisheries:

### Upper Forks of the South Platte

![South Platte River Fly Fishing Report North Fork Near Bailer Colorado](https://risebeyondflyfishing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Spring%202025%20River%20Report%20Banners/South%20Platte%20River%20Fly%20Fishing%20Report%20North%20Fork%20Near%20Bailer%20Colorado.png?width=1600&height=900&name=South%20Platte%20River%20Fly%20Fishing%20Report%20North%20Fork%20Near%20Bailer%20Colorado.png)

- **North Fork South Platte (Bailey / Pine Valley):** Smaller stream with pocket water and eager browns. Great summer dry-fly fishing.
- **Middle Fork South Platte (Fairplay / Alma):** High-elevation meadow stream that feeds Antero Reservoir. Known for brookies and cutthroat.
- **South Fork South Platte (near Hartsel):** Less pressure than the others, with solid brown trout numbers. Flows into Spinney Reservoir.

### Tailwaters & Famous Stretches

![South Platte River Fly Fishing Report Near Decker Colorado](https://risebeyondflyfishing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Spring%202025%20River%20Report%20Banners/South%20Platte%20River%20Fly%20Fishing%20Report%20Near%20Decker%20Colorado.png?width=1600&height=900&name=South%20Platte%20River%20Fly%20Fishing%20Report%20Near%20Decker%20Colorado.png)

- **Deckers:** Denver’s day-trip fishery. High pressure but consistent fishing year-round.
- **Dream Stream (Spinney to Elevenmile):** Iconic for migratory trophy browns and rainbows moving between reservoirs. Best in fall and spring.
- **Elevenmile Canyon:** Pocket water, classic riffle-run-pool structure, and strong hatches of BWOs, Tricos, and caddis.
- **Cheesman Canyon:** The most technical and rewarding section on the river.
- **Waterton Canyon:** The South Platte sleeper. Great fish, fewer people.

### Reservoirs That Define the Platte

![South Platte River Fly Fishing Report Chatfield Tailwater](https://risebeyondflyfishing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Spring%202025%20River%20Report%20Banners/South%20Platte%20River%20Fly%20Fishing%20Report%20Chatfield%20Tailwater.png?width=1600&height=900&name=South%20Platte%20River%20Fly%20Fishing%20Report%20Chatfield%20Tailwater.png)

- **Chatfield Reservoir & Tailwaters–** A warmwater option with carp, bass, walleye, and stocked trout
- **Spinney Mountain Reservoir** – Stillwater trophy fishery with pike, cutbows, and rainbows.
- **Elevenmile Reservoir** – Both a fishery and the source of Elevenmile Canyon flows.
- **Cheesman Reservoir** – Critical water supply that feeds Cheesman Canyon.
- **Strontia Springs Reservoir** – Feeds Waterton Canyon.

### Urban & Downstream Waters

- **Denver South Platte (DSP):** Carp on the fly, smallmouth bass, and the occasional trout in the middle of the city.
- **Below Chatfield Reservoir to Platte Canyon:** Transitional water that sees less pressure but can surprise with solid fish.

## Top Flies for the South Platte

Every section fishes a little differently, but these patterns earn their place in any box:

- **RS2 (#20–#24)** – Cheesman and Dream Stream standby.
- **Pheasant Tail (#18–#22)** – Elevenmile Canyon workhorse.
- **Black Beauty Midge (#22–#26)** – Year-round producer everywhere.
- **Juju Baetis (#20–#22)** – Deckers and Cheesman favorite.
- **Hopper-Dropper setups (Chubby + Tungsten Midge)** – Perfect for summer winds and late season terrestrials.

 

 

---

## Seasonal Playbook

- **Winter**: Midges in tailouts, light rigs, patient drifts.
- **Spring**: Baetis hatches and pre-spawn browns in the Dream Stream.
- **Summer**: Tricos, PMDs, caddis, and hopper-dropper season.
- **Fall**: Streamers for migratory browns, plus strong BWO action on cloudy days.

## FAQs on the South Platte

**What’s the easiest stretch for beginners?**

The Dream Stream during fall or spring migrations.
