Northern Colorado: 

Frozen this time of year, Northern Colorado has some of the best fishing in the state. There are many options for streams, lakes, and rivers and a reliable guide service who can steer a person in the right direction. North Park Anglers has a guide who recently joined the FindAFFG team.

Rob Stout:

Rob is no stranger to hunting down big fish and giving clients the opportunity to feel one pull. If he is not on the river, he is out on the ice or sitting in front of a vice. Rob is one of those guys who spends most of his time in pursuit of fish.
