Competition Sector:
Clear Creek Canyon
Upper Beats: Google Map
We did change the beat placement on beat two and three but they are all within around 10-30 yards of where that pin should be, and we extended the bottom of beat 6 to be more accommodating for Dry Fly only fishing.
Lower Beats:
For the lower beats they are really easy to see from the road and Cody and I made a supplemental beat google pin link you can use. You should be able to see most of them from the road.
