  Williams Fork River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Williams Fork River is a tributary of the Colorado River, approximately 30 mi (48 km) long, in north central Colorado in the United States.
It rises in southern Grand County, in Arapaho National Forest at the continental divide near the Eisenhower Memorial Tunnel.
It flows NNW between the Vasquez Range and the Williams Range, through Willliams Fork Reservoir, and joins the Colorado 2 mi (3 km) west of the town of Parshall.

 water in the balance #7
The sediment carried by the plains rivers was ultimately derived from weathering and erosion of the Rocky Mountains, and from sediment carried into the drainage basin by wind, but much of the sediment was locally derived from the channel bed and banks, the river’s floodplain, and the nearby hillslopes.
The rivers of Colorado’s western plateaus and canyons are similar to those of the eastern plains in that flow in the larger rivers is dominated by snowmelt from the mountains, whereas the smaller, ephemeral channels may be driven by rainfall from summer thunderstorms.
The water of the western rivers was historically warm and turbid with sediment, supporting a warmwater fauna of Colorado squawfish, bonytail chub, razorback sucker, humpback sucker, roundtail chub, speckled dace, flannelmouth sucker, bluehead sucker, and mountain sucker.

Although there is a solid 20-minute hike in to the river, the quality of the fish pretty much guarantees that you'll be fishing 2nd- and 3rd- hand water most of the day, so take your time and fish everything very thoroughly -- including the hard-to-reach or less-than-great-looking areas that others have probably ignored.

 Excerpts: Colorado River Organization
Instead, their power came from the technological control they exercised over the rivers; they were a managerial elite.3 Better than the peasants, they understood when the river currents would rise and fall, how a ditch could be constructed so it would not silt up with sediment, and what the river gods wanted from humans.
A great river, it was said, runs lower than any of its tributaries, receiving into itself "all things under heaven." From this model in nature Taoists drew lessons for their rulers.
Rivers must be disciplined -- a favorite word of this school -- by constructing strong, high dikes to pinch the water in, forcing it to move more rapidly toward the sea.
