Discover the joys of fly fishing! You’ll learn the ins and outs of the sport, including what gear you will need, tying knots, setting up your rod, and casting. West Denver Trout Unlimited will guide you in a two hour classroom session, followed by a two hour fishing opportunity at nearby Lake Lehow. No equipment or experience necessary! You don’t even need a fishing license.
This class is organized by Geri Reffel, West Denver TU’s Women’s Fly Fishing Coordinator. Her next class for beginners is on Sunday, July 16, 10:00 am at the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center.
If you believe you’re interested in taking this class and/or want more information, please contact Geri at. You can also register by calling the Rec Center at 303-231-1300. This will be a fun class—tell your friends about it.
Welcome to the West Denver Chapter, Trout Unlimited
Our Values
We understand that coldwater fisheries are vital to a healthy environment and offer priceless recreational opportunities. For everyone’s well-being, we conserve and restore these waters.
We love to fish. Our monthly meetings include a Fly Tying Corner where members learn new patterns for their fishing adventures. Speaker presentations may discuss fishing area rivers, new nymphing techniques, or conservation challenges facing Colorado anglers. Member camaraderie builds through fishing trips, volunteer activities, and chapter picnics.
We are dedicated to coldwater fisheries conservation and community outreach. Our membership supports local stream cleanups and restoration, water quality monitoring on Clear Creek, youth programs, fundraisers, and more.
We are in great company. West Denver Chapter, Trout Unlimited (WDTU) was founded in Colorado in 1974, and now has 1,100+ members across western metro Denver. Colorado Trout Unlimited (CTU) has existed at the state level since 1969, and National Trout Unlimited (NTU) originally formed in Michigan in 1959. TU members’ voices are heard locally, state-wide, and nationally.
