Colorado River???

So I am on a family trip in Glenwood Springs.  We are having a blast but me being me I keep looking at the Colorado flowing by the hotel and wondering.  Even at this altitude it already has a carpy look to it.  I suspect the chalky brown color to the water is the norm but I still wonder.  How far to the nearest carp and are they reachable with a fly?  I have heard rumors and rumblings but know nothing.  I remember canoeing the Colorado in Grand Junction as a youth.  Those vaguely pleasant memories scream carp on the fly to my adult self, but I could be a state or two from the Colorado River carpin for all I know.  Knowledge is power my friends and I am powerless.
