Best Places to fish Colorado Rivers

 Best Places to Fish the Colorado River

With such an expansive distance to cover, it can be somewhat intimidating to try and narrow down your options to just one or two locations along the Colorado River that yield the best fishing, but there are several places that offer the potential for trophy fishing.

First among these is near the headwaters in the Upper Colorado, and can be found between the Fraser River all the way west to Troublesome creek. This particular section of the Colorado is officially designated as Gold Medal waters where there are plenty of trophy-sized fish. The town of Kremmling is west of this stretch of water, and you can easily access the entire length of the Gold Medal section by following Highway 40.

A review of state dam safety records also shows that a breach at any of 21 "high hazard" dams today likely would kill people living or working nearby. Failures at another 33 deficient "significant hazard" dams would cause major property damage.

But dam repairs can cost millions of dollars, and Colorado Department of Natural Resources officials say they lack funds to help owners make repairs.
