Colorado Fly Fishing and Trout Fishing Trips - Arkansas River

Your Colorado Trout Fishing Adventure Awaits You in Browns Canyon!

Colorado fly fishing and trout fishing trips on Colorado's Arkansas River with Noah's Ark

The upper Arkansas River hosts one of the finest trout 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 among fishermen and women on the Arkansas River is incredibly high, and the action is usually very steady throughout Browns Canyon.

Discover thrills and relaxation on a Colorado fishing getaway!

Why fish from the side of a highway when you can go troutfishing while floating 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 in the wilderness study area in Browns Canyon, as well as brave the Arkansas River's fun rapids.

Here are some other great reasons to come trout fishing with Noah's Ark:

Our experienced fishing guides are committed to sharing with you their secret hot spots for prime Brown and Rainbow Trout fishing.
You can camp on our riverside campground the night before or after your fishing adventure.
Our after-hours fishing permit and premier private put-in allow us to fish during less busy times on the Arkansas River, maximizing your chances to land the big one!*
