What to Know about Telluride Fly Fishing
Telluride is full of waterways known for incredible fishing opportunities, from the trout streams in the Rocky Mountains to creeks, lakes, and ponds. There are some things to keep in mind, especially if you’re going on a self-guided excursion.
- Avoid walking across plants and causing erosion of banks, as this can impact fish habitat.
- You must have a Colorado fishing license, which can be purchased in most sporting goods stores or online through Colorado Parks & Wildlife.
- Learn about local regulations related to things like catch-and-release sections and bait restrictions.
- Be careful to note trespass on river corridors that go onto private property.
Let an Experienced Guide Show You Around
The best way to increase your chances of a successful fishing day is by booking your spot with one of the top local Colorado fly fishing guides. Telluride Outside has been a top guide service in Southwest Colorado since 1984. While its staff and guides have been fly fishing all over the globe, many learned about this sport in Telluride.
You have several different options when reserving your adventure, including length and destination. Choose to fish from four Rocky Mountain streams for either half-day or full-day outings: the San Miguel, Gunnison, Dolores, and Uncompahgre. The prices for all these trips include terminal tackle, flies, and lunch if you book a full day. You can also rent top-quality gear if you didn’t bring yours.
Visiting in the winter doesn’t mean you’ve missed out on fly fishing. Perhaps one of the best-kept secrets in Colorado is winter fly fishing. Take a break from flying down the slopes to see what you can reel in with your Telluride Outside guide.
