I fish around glenwood. The biggest and best fish in the river are below the river's confluence with the roaring fork. Particularly south canyon is good and canyon creek if you are willing to walk. The average fish is a 3 lb. bow, but we have got em up to about 15lbs and hooked many larger.
I would fish above the confluence, exit 119 where no name creek flows in, and I will in a couple of weeks. For some reason it is closed for the brown spawn until nov. 15, even though the spawn doesn't really start until then. (another case of dow not doing their homework) Really, in all technicality, there are only 3 people that are allowed to fish where the creek goes in (me and 2 other people) because it is private property, and we know the owner. But many people fish it anyway.
Tomorrow I plan on fishing south canyon first, then fishing upper grizzly creek (a 2 mile walk from grizzly creek parking area walking east on the trail there is a large hole that almost nobody fishes.) Then round it off with upper canyon creek section. A reasonable goal for me tomorrow is an 8 lb. rainbow.
