Colorado Recreation & Outdoors - Fishing
Bring your rod and reel, because with Colorado's world class rivers and streams, you might as well be fishing. The Centennial State has more than 6,000 miles of streams and more than 2,000 lakes and reservoirs open to public fishing. Angling opportunities abound with popular warm-water fare like walleye, largemouth and smallmouth bass, catfish and bluegill. The high-country angler will find the settings spectacular fish challenging. Common species include cutthroat, brook, brown, lake and rainbow trout. Colorado's fishing is a quality experience you won't soon forget. Rivers such as the South Platte in Denver, the Arkansas in Pueblo and many urban ponds and lakes can also offer excellent fishing and a chance to get away from it all, even in the middle of the city.
