The upper Arkansas River is one of the finest fisheries in Colorado, with an abundance of Brown and Rainbow Trout. This high elevation river with crystal clear, cold water provides the perfect environment for Colorado fly fishing and spin-casting enthusiasts. The ideal time for fishing the headwaters of the Arkansas River is late July and August when the river clears up from the spring runoff, and the fish are ready to attack your dry flies. Droppers and spinners also work well on this section. The success rate on the Arkansas River is incredibly high, and the action is usually very steady throughout Browns Canyon.
