Fly fishing is a nice relaxing way to spend your afternoons. If you like fly fishing, then you better come up to Ouray and start casting. The creeks and rivers around Ouray make this place great for fishing. Here are a few choice spots for fishing near Ouray.
There’s a great one-mile section of the Uncompahgre River that’s catch and release. Here you can find brown trout, rainbow trout, and cutthroat trout. This place is great for fishing any time of the year. Make sure to bring only artificial lures and flies.
The Cimarron River is an overlooked spot for fly fishing. This river has rainbow, cutthroat, and brook trout swimming in it. The forks of the Cimarron are probably the best spots, because they are easy to access, quiet, have gorgeous scenery, and are fun for dry flies.
The San Miguel River is this region’s only undammed river. This river also has great public access. Rainbow and cutbow trout are more common here, and browns and cutthroats less common.
Bring your fishing rod to Ouray for a pleasant day fly fishing in the most beautiful rivers around.
