A pretty women fly-fishing for trout along the banks of the Rio Grande River near South Fork Colorado during early Summer.
The Rio Grande starts in Colorado’s San Juan Mountains near the Continental Divide, mainly within the Rio Grande National Forest near La Garita Wilderness and Creede. Headwaters (about 11,000–13,000 ft) come from small streams and alpine creeks, fed by snowmelt, causing strong spring/early-summer flows. In Colorado the river runs short, confined to high valleys before descending to New Mexico. The upper watershed supports alpine/subalpine ecosystems and native trout; Colorado’s irrigation, reservoirs, and diversions reduce downstream flow.
