I fish mainly streams and rivers. I especially enjoy doing that in solitude. That's a lot easier close to Salt Lake City than Denver. Remember Colorado has almost twice the population and fishing licenses sold. Denver metro is also twice that of SLC metro. I wouldn't avoid SLC because you think river fishing isn't as good. In thousands of hours of stream fishing in Utah I've easily averaged 10 fish an hour and over a footlong. And some of that is targeting smaller trout in small creeks. And there are several places within an hour or two drive where you have a chance at trout over 20 inches every trip.
