The Rio Grande, one of Colorado's best-known rivers, snakes its way through southern Colorado. With many good access points to the river, the river attracts many fishermen and has a robust fly-fishing community. Not only is it a fun place to fish, but it's also home to some large trout, too.
The headwater of the Rio Grande starts at around 12,000 feet elevation in the majestic San Juan Mountains. The river runs through forest land for the first 25 miles and the water is mostly shallow. A large variety of trout live in these waters.
Traveling further down the river toward South Fork about 30 miles, there's a mix of public and private land. You can access the river, however, from the US forest and Colorado State Wildlife Areas. These spots are ideal for dry fishing in the summertime when hatches abound and the water is low.
The river continues down through Costilla County where several fishing spots are available right at the rivers edge.
To learn more about obtaining a fishing license, and fishing rules and regulations please visit Colorado Fish & Wildlife. At the time of this writing, you can fish in Colorado without a license during the first week of June. Aside from that week, a Colorado fishing license is required. Additionally, Colorado residents over 65 can fish without a license.
