Colorado is a fishing fanatic’s dream come true! While the countless miles of pristine rivers, streams, lakes, and creeks in Colorado attract fisher men and women from all over the planet, there’s more than enough space to go around. If you don’t mind walking and wading in rivers, give fly fishing a shot. If you prefer to cast a bobber out and let the fish do all the work, you won’t be disappointed either.
While most locals aren’t likely to share their favorite fishing hole, we’ve done our best to cast you off in the right direction. There is something here for every type and level of freshwater fishing imaginable!
