| About: -
The Conejos River has provided excellent fishing for wild brown and
rainbow trout. Prolific hatches of stoneflies, caddisflies and mayflies occur
from May through July. Best fishing follows snow runoff in late June and July.
Fall is a great time to fish this
tributary of the Rio Grande when fishing pressure is at a minimum and the trout
are still rising to flies. Fishing should be good into October or November but
the river may ice up a little earlier this year because of low flows. Directions: From Alamosa, drive south on Highway 285 to Antonito. Turn west on Highway 17 south of town where you will pick up the river for 35 miles. Turn right on Forest Road 250, which follows the river to Platoro Reservoir. |
