It's almost as sweet as the gold rush that takes Discover Colorado to the historic mining city of Cripple Creek. It's the home of awesome events such as Donkey Derby Day and The Big Aspen Happenin'. The city's events are great for the whole family or if you would like a relaxing getaway, then look no further. | Denver7

With fishing pressure low fall can be an excellent time to trout fish Virginia's Cripple Creek. Trout are active and feeding now as you'll see in this episode of Pautzke Outdoors filmed in Southwest Virginia. | Pautzke Bait Company

More than four inches of rain fell the day before we were to trout fish Southwest Virginia's Cripple creek near Rural Retreat. The creek exploded past it's banks, muddied and made fishing challenging. Meanwhile, we considered this a solid opportunity to test product. Armed with Silver Label salmon eggs, Fire Bait and Fire Balls we spent an afternoon at Cedar Springs Sportsman's Lodge and caught a handful of rainbow trout and golden rainbows while filming this episode of Pautzke Outdoors. | Pautz
