1. ARKANSAS RIVER FISHING FLOAT TRIPS
The Arkansas River is the premier watershed for Colorado Springs fly fishing trips. It offers tons of wade access, but a guided float fishing trip is hard to beat. Arkansas River Tours runs full-day, half-day, and evening fishing floats. The river is absolutely loaded with brown trout and has a healthy population of rainbow trout as well. Float trips offer access to those difficult to reach places where wade anglers simply cannot present a fly.
2. Arkansas River Wade Trips
Guided wade fishing trips in Colorado Springs are an excellent way to catch fish in the Arkansas River. High fish counts and incredible access make for a fabulous day wade fishing. While float trips offer access to difficult areas, wade trips can run in high or low water conditions with high levels of success. Starting with the famous spring caddis hatches and continuing through stonefly and terrestrial seasons, full and half-day Colorado wade trips are popular with small groups and families for good reason.
3. Gunnison Gorge Fishing Float Trips – 3 Day
The Gunnison is another famous river not far west of Colorado Springs. It offers wade and float access in the upper sections but the famed Gorge section is a multi-day float fishing trip that requires expert rowers to navigate class III-IV rapids. Arkansas River Tours is one of the few outfitters with expert fishing guides also trained to run whitewater. The remote canyon is stunning and the fishing for brown and rainbow trout is phenomenal. The salmon fly hatch here is famous! These fish see very little pressure and every trip offers the chance to catch larger than average trout.
4. Brown’s Canyon National Monument Overnight Float Fishing – 2 Day
