Fort Collins Fly Shops have all the gear you need with some very knowledgeable staff. They are located on both the north and south side of town and have easy access. The Cache la Poudre is not dam controlled like the Big Thompson so the flows tend to vary more. Checking with the local shop is the best way to find out how the river is fishing and where to go on the river.
