The Arkansas is fairly close - maybe 50 miles. Also Tarryall Res. and you can get a daily fee access to some ranches on Tarryall Creek with a group called South Park Anglers. You're not too far from Deckers and that zoo. All the South Park lakes, Antero, Eleven Mile and Spinney, especially if you have a float tube. But it's hard to beat being close to the action - and it's not too bad during the week. Everybody bashes the Dream stream, but there are some who do very well there.I'd say 90% of the crowds at Elevenmile are guides with people who generally leave Colorado Springs around 8:00 and get into the canyon about 9:00, so if you have your parking place before that you should have a spot. If you go up about 8 miles you will get into the catch and release area and lose some of the bait guys.
