Geocache Description:

The cache is located in the Bliss SWA, this is a day use area, and gives fishing access to about 1 mile of the Poudre River.

VALID HUNTING AND FISHING LICENSE REQUIRED. This geocache is located on a State Wildlife Area or CPW- leased State Trust Land. A valid hunting or fishing license is required to access and recreate on this property. All other rules and regs by Colorado Parks and Wildlife apply. This cache is named for the Copper John, a fly pattern developed by John Barr, he is a renowned tyer, author, from Colorado. The pattern was introduced in 1996, it took the flyfishing world by storm and by 2001 was the best selling fly pattern in the world. I have fished this pattern with great success on the very waters you are standing near. The stretch of river just to the west of the cache can be very productive at times. I placed this cache on a recent trip to the canyon. There is a size 12 Copper John for the FTF if you want it, (my version is slightly different than that of Mr. Barr's) my hope is that it will be used to catch fish. I will place some additional flies when I venture out this way, I'll leave a note when I drop them. Enjoy the cache and the beautiful canyon this river has carved out.
