Come join us to discover new fly patterns, connect with regional fly shops and tiers, learn about volunteer opportunities with local conservation organizations, make new friends and see some old ones.

RMFTU's vision is to see robust populations of native and wild trout thriving in Northern Colorado’s Big Thompson River, Cache la Poudre River and North Platte watersheds.

All proceeds directly support local cold-water conservation efforts - so help us raise money to help the northern Colorado trout and trout streams that we all love.
