Spinney Mountain State Park will be opening for the season on Friday, 04/23/21 at 5:46 a.m. Due to very low water levels, which City of Aurora reports as being 56% on 04/08/2021, they are opening to boating on April 23rd. It will be hand-launched vessels only. Boats with motors will be allowed and will require an ANS inspection going in and coming out.
When Spinney opens, fishing enthusiasts line up at the gates!

Earth Day 2021:
Restore Our Earth
"In terms of keeping our rivers clean, every day should be Earth Day." ~ Jon Easdon, Director of Services
The theme for Earth Day 2021 echoes one of our guiding principles as a fly shop: Restore Our Earth. We have held on to the importance of stewardship nearly from the Shop’s inception. Our involvement with the Pikes Peak Chapter of Trout Unlimited, for instance, spans many, many years. Over the years, this commitment to giving back has grown. And when it comes to our natural resources, the fisheries with which we interact on a daily basis, we believe in preservation, conservation, and restoration.
Stillwater fly fishing is something everyone should experience, and a welcome change from our technical rivers. The Pikes Peak region is also home to some of the greatest stillwater fisheries in the country!
In this class, Angler’s Covey guides and stillwater experts Kenny Romero and Jon Easdon will walk you through everything encompassing stillwater fly fishing. From rigging, tactics and techniques , and entomology, they will cover it all.
Day 1 will be held at Angler's Covey at 6pm on Friday, May 7th. Day 2 will be held lakeside the next day, May 8th. (Location TBD) Please bring a notepad to the classroom session, as you will need it!
Students are required to have their own gear for the lakeside portion (Day 2) of this class. (Waders, rods, flies, terminal tackle, etc.)
Basic fly fishing knowledge (Rigging, knots, etc.) is required. That said, it's okay if you're a beginner.
Dates: May 7 & 8
Location: Day 1 is at Angler's Covey. Day 2 is lakeside (Location TBD).
Cost: $90
