Leadville lies close to timberline\, with as elevation of 10\,158 ft. The surrounding peaks are all well above 12\,000 feet and are thus bare of trees. Leadville has the highest elevation of any city in the United States. Leadville lies in a valley at the headwaters of the Arkansas River. Our travels will take us up over Fremont Pass at an elevation of 11\,318 and Tennessee Pass at an elevation of 10\,424. So\, with that said this trip is not for the faint of heart or weak lungs. You will need to prepare for this type of elevation weeks in advance.   \nThe Fishing: will be done on the head waters of the Arkansas river. \nThis fishing requires a skill level of medium to high. The headwaters of the Eagle River skill level novice and up. We will also have a day of fishing in private lakes and ponds. This day will be spent in the beautiful surroundings of a homestead setting. Private homes nestled in the beauty of the Colorado high country. Float tubes can be used on ponds and lakes. Participants using float tubes and equipment must be experienced with the use of them.  \nThis trip is five-days total\, starting on a Sunday and returning on Thursday.  URL:https://platterivers.com/event/soldier-day-2/ LOCATION:Soldier Day\, Leadville\, CO\, United States CATEGORIES:Multi Day Trip END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250825 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250829 DTSTAMP:20260513T130115 CREATED:20250320T191931Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250427T202427Z UID:13001-1756080000-1756425599@platterivers.com SUMMARY:Walden/North Park DESCRIPTION:4 days fishing in the Walden\, Colo north park area\nFishing the 3 Delaney lakes and Lake John (possible Cowdery lake in an evening since it’s close)\nWe will also try and get 1 morning over to Michigan Reservoir at Gould\, Colo on Highway 14 for some rainbow and Brookie fishing \nEverything that you need for the day: Flyrods 4-5-6 wts. are okay\, waders & boots\, float tubes fins\, flies\, hats\, rain jackets\, sunglasses\, sunblock\, and anything else you might need for the trip.

The day after will be a walk wade day in the same river. \nThis trip is geared towards the intermediate to advanced angler. The river in August can be very slippery with varying flows. I would suggest having felt soled waders. This river is a challenge for even the seasoned angler. \nHopefully\, the hopper bite is strong this time of year along with evening hatches. This inaugural trip will be sure to become a favorite!

Anyone looking to chase the Wyoming Cuttslam this will be an opportunity to catch one of the four cutthroat on their native waters. \nWet wading with 3\, 4\, 5 weight rods is the best option using typical late summer dry dropper patterns. Some options to fish from lakes with boats maybe available depending on conditions.
