About Dream Stream

The legendary 4-mile South Platte stretch between Spinney Mountain and Eleven Mile Reservoir. 20"+ brown trout on flat meadow water in South Park at 9,000 ft. Requires long leaders (12-14 ft), light tippet (6-7X), and precise presentations. Wind is almost always a factor. Spring and fall spawning runs bring the biggest fish into reach. Worth every bit of the challenge.
