Package Details and Information
Fly Fishing Dolores River — Colorado (CO) Package:20040
Full day walk/wade trip including lunch and transportation to the river for 2 anglers max.
Once one of the best trout streams in the country, the Dolores River in southwestern Colorado is making a comeback and deserves attention when you're in the vicinity.
The Dolores became another Bureau of Reclamation disaster when water levels dropped to deadly 20 cfs. It's been years since this isolated but deadly incident and the trout are back in fighting good numbers.
Although good fishing exists above McPhee Reservoir it is the tail-water portion of the Dolores that hold the greatest challenge for fly-fishers.

Location and Fishing Information
Fly Fishing Dolores River -
Spring creek characteristics, long leaders, light tippets, big bugs and strong wind can often make the fishing difficult and challenging.
As we all know, reward is often commensurate with the level of grief encountered to be successful. Reward on the Dolores can be large, up to 24 inches large.
Many heavy shouldered own, rainbow and cutthroat trout call this beautiful river home. A stay in southwest Colorado wouldn't be complete with a trip to the Dolores.
Guided trips offered by Telluride Outside are full day only and include lunch.
Two anglers maximum recommended for this trip.
