: Arkansas River (Buena Vista to Salida) - Flows have risen a bit more and we now have close to 400 cfs flowing through Browns Canyon. Many fish in this reach have already spawned - if the weather remains warm, they will resume feeding, if it gets cold they will migrate into deep water and hole up for the winter. Nymphing deep slow/mid speed holes is the best approach at this time. Arkansas River (Leadville to Buena Vista) - The upper river is low, clear and cold - about 221 cfs at Granite and hovering in the upper 30s to low 40s. Nymphing in deeper, slower winter holding water is the most productive approach. Warm afternoons may still draw some fish into riffly water to feed on mayfly nymphs but that phenomenon is winding up. All told, fishing downstream is more consistent at this time of year. Arkansas River (Salida to Canon City) - The Arkansas River through Bighorn Sheep Canyon is still fishing well with the best activity being from 1:00 to 4:00. Look for fish to move into edge-water seams and riffles to feed on mayfly nymph/emergers at that time. Mornings we are going deep in slow water with midge patterns. The spawn is underway - if it stays warm, fish will resume feeding. Reported by: Colorado D.O.W |

About: -
Much of the Arkansas River is surrounded by beautiful mountains. Driving on Route 24 along the headwaters provides a
spectacular view. The most heavily fished and popular section of the Arkansas is from Buena
Vista to Canon City. This section is approximately 75 miles long, with beautiful pocket water, pools, riffles and runs holding an excellent
population of browns and a good population of rainbows. Trout in the Arkansas average
13-15 inches although fish to 18 inches and better are not that uncommon.Camping: Stretching for 148 miles along one of the West's premier recreation rivers. AHRA operates five campgrounds along the river with a total of 86 campsites available.
From Steamboat Springs go west two miles on U.S. 40 to County Road 129. Turn north and drive 26 miles. |
