It is hard to hear the name South Park without thinking of the adult-orientated comedy sitcom. South Park, the TV show, does reference fly fishing. One character mentions fly fishing in Montana. The area features trophy trout waters and Gold Medal Waters, including spots like Eleven Mile Canyon. These locations offer excellent fishing opportunities, drawing many anglers to Park County for a memorable experience with Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
Michele White, a professional guide in Lake George, Colorado, has extensively explored, fished and documented the tributaries of the South Platte River in South Park. South Park is home to Lake George, the Tarryall River, Lost Creek, Tomahawk, Badger Basin and the headwaters of the South Platte River.
