Fishing in Colorado
Colorado is synonymous with fly-fishing for many people. Our many mountain streams, rivers, and lakes teem with Rainbow, Brown, Cutthroat, and Brook trout. In some of the large mountain lakes Kokanee (landlocked) you’ll find Salmon! We also have many warm-water fisheries too with Bass, Catfish, Pike, and others.
Get Ready, Fishing in Colorado
The best way to really get to the big fish is to book a fishing trip or take lessons with one of the many experienced fly fishing adventure companies. A guided trip can include access to private water, backcountry overnight horse trips, float trips, Gold Medal Waters, and so much more.
A Fishermans Paradise
Colorado is famous for its’ Gold Medal Fishing Waters and pristine mountain lakes. From the “Dream Stream” and the “Miracle Mile” to the word-class Frying Pan, Gunnison, and Uncompahgre Rivers to the massive Dillon Reservoir and Blue Mesa Reservoir full of Kokanee Salmon and large Lake Trout, Colorado has it all. Hundreds of Lakes, and abundant rivers and streams, make Colorado nothing short of a fisherman’s paradise.
Ice Fishing
The fun doesn’t stop in the winter! Bundle up for amazing fly-fishing or ice fishing on the Dillon Reservoir, Grand Lake, or various other mountain lakes. Many of Colorado’s State Parks are open to ice fishing. Learn more about ice-fishing in Colorado.
For those DIY fishermen, a stop in a local shop to stock up on gear and get hot tips from those who know the local water can make or break your expedition. It’s important to note that you need a valid Colorado Fishing License to fish in the state of Colorado, even if you are practicing catch and release. For more information, check out the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife’s website.
