Colorado Fly Fishing and Trout Fishing Trips - Arkansas River

Rafting Trips at a Glance
Your Colorado fly fishing adventure awaits you on the
Browns Canyon section of the Arkansas River!
 The
upper Arkansas River is one of the finest fisheries in Colorado,
with an abundance of Brown and Rainbow Trout. This high elevation river with
crystal clear, cold water provides the perfect environment for Colorado fly
fishing and spin-casting enthusiasts. The ideal time for fishing the headwaters
of the Arkansas River is late July and August when the river clears up from
the spring runoff, and the fish are ready to attack your dry flies. Droppers
and spinners also work well on this section. The success rate on the Arkansas
River is incredibly high, and the action is usually very steady throughout Browns
Canyon.
Why fish from the side of a highway when you can float through the pristine
river canyons of central Colorado? The advantage of fishing from a raft is that
you have the ability to make ideal drifts into endless eddies along the canyon
corridor. Between casts you can enjoy the beauty of floating through the wilderness
study area in Browns Canyon, as well as braving
some fun rapids.

FISHING THE HIGH LAKES
For those of you who prefer walking to your favorite Colorado fishing hole rather
than rafting to it, we also customize both day hikes
and wilderness backpacking trips to have an emphasis
on fishing at high alpine lakes in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness Area. Combine
a day of fishing on the river with a few days in the Colorado backcountry for
the ultimate fishing adventure! Please call for details and review our Colorado
Map for more information on where we're located.
