Winter Fly Fishing The Uncompahgre - Half Day

If you enjoy spending time in nature along the riverbanks of a snowy wintery landscape, this tour is for you. This Half Day Winter Fly Fishing tour allows you to take in the beauty surrounding the San Juan mountains and learn about the rich ecosystem of the Uncompaghre River.

The tailwaters of the Uncompaghre offer predictable flows, constant water temperatures, and abundant aquatic insects making for an uniquely productive winter fishery; great for beginners and experts alike. The structured holding water, deep runs, and large pools create an ideal habitat for heavy rainbows, browns and cutthroat trout. Because these fish require stealthy presentations and exact fly imitations, based on recommendations from your guide, it is an excellent opportunity to practice the timeless art of match-the-hatch fly fishing. We offer premium access to multiple river sections, regardless of the weather or time of year.

Our guides are not just expert fly-fishers but also passionate storytellers, always ready to share Colorado's secrets and legends as they help you navigate the riverbanks in search of achieving a tight line. If you're a new angler, they'll show you the ropes, ensuring you have fun on this tour no matter your skill level.

This half-day adventure isn't just about the fish— it's about the entire experience. Enjoy the beauty of The Uncompahgre and practice your skills at fly fishing all season long. If you're in Telluride to ski, take a break to fish!
