The Bridger Wilderness encompasses over 400,000 acres of pristine forest, lakes and streams which includes over 1300 alpine lakes, several hundred miles of streams and creeks and is sometimes referred to as the “forgotten wilderness” due to its lack of notoriety. This area includes the Wind River Range which is the largest mountain chain in the lower 48 and is home to the headwaters of both the Green and New Fork Rivers. Please visit his website flyfishingwyomingwinds.com for more about area or to book a trip with Mike and his guide service.

Please join us on Tuesday, March 23rd at 6:30 p.m. at our monthly meeting for an evening to remember. For more information please contact DTU at ToddFehr@denvertu.org for more information.

Some 40 groups statewide, including TU national, CTU and other sporting groups, have submitted a resolution to have the State Parks Board more equitably distribute some $3.2 million in annual ORV registration fees (aka sticker funds), to include grants for targeted ORV law enforcement and restoration of ORV damage to fish and wildlife habitat on public lands. Biologically, the number of ORVs out there today splashing through and all to often “playing” in high-mountain streams, including native cutthroat habitat, can be disastrous to local and downstream cold-water fisheries.
