Rio Grande River
Season: April through October
The scene along the Rio Grande is beautiful, but you will be more impressed by the large wild fish feeding on a foray of Salmon flies and other stoneflies, Green Drakes, Caddis, smaller mayflies, and Hoppers.
The Gold Medal Water of this section was subject of a recent article in the Denver Post, "Chasing a perfect drift" literally because of the lack of crowd, and for the long "Perfect" drifts that your fly will attain while floating this river.

Stream Designations
Gold Medal Water
A lake or stream that supports a trout standing stock of at least 60 pounds per acre, and contains an average of at least 12 quality trout per acre. Quality trout is defined as any trout 14 inches or longer in length. The major distinction between Gold Medal and Wild Trout is Gold Medal waters can be stocked
with hatchery reared trout while Wild Trout waters cannot.
Wild Trout Water
Wild Trout Waters are streams with a naturally reproducing trout population with a minimum
standing stock of 40 pounds per acre or a stream reach with less than 40 pounds per acre if it provides essential spawning and nursery habitat for the adjoining water. A trout that completes its entire life cycle in a lake or stream is defined as a wild trout.
Private Water
Private waters are areas of streams that are not open to the general public, which Wolf Creek Anglers has special permission or exclusive access to share with it's clients. Most of these streams see little to no outside fishing pressure and present outstanding opportunities for abundant and/or trophy fish.
Other Fisheries
Rivers than don't have an official designation by the Colorado Wildlife Department. Don't be fooled into thinking these aren't productive streams though, we've had some of our best days on the numerous public waters in the Upper San Juan and Rio Grande watersheds.
