: Uncompahgre River in Ridgway Park - Fishing on the river at Pa-Co-Chu-Puk has been good. Flows are up to about 750 cfs, still way above average. Normal is 250-300 cfs. Habitat for both fish and bugs is enhanced with the additional debris in the water and bug production has gone way up. As the water temperature approaches 55 degrees, the trout become more active and feed more heavily. Smaller Pheasant Tails are still working and of course hopper patterns. A 23-inch brown trout was landed and released in June by a local fly-caster using a black woolly bugger. It is very close to being dry fly season! Reported by: Colorado D.O.W |

| About: -
Uncompahgre River -is located on the western slope of the
San Juan Mountains near the rustic Colorado town of Quray. The Uncompahgre over the last twelve years has become a good tailwater
fishery. The section below the dam (Pa-co-chu-puk) has been rehabilitated with
boulder placements, log anchors and other obstructions that provide excellent
cover for the fish. This section is catch-and-release and it does have good
public access. The river is known for good sized browns and rainbows, and its
ability to be fished year round.
