Notes from the landowner

This Dolores River property is conveniently located just a short drive from Telluride, offering anglers access to three-quarters of a mile along the main branch of the river. The stretch features a diverse terrain, including deep holes, long runs, and occasional cutbacks, providing ample opportunities for anglers of all levels. Trout sizes range from 10 to 16 inches, promising exciting fishing experiences.

Over the years, the landowner has undertaken multiple restoration projects and has plans for more in the future. These efforts have significantly enhanced the property, increasing the availability of prime fishing spots from top to bottom. Beyond the riverbanks, the landowner's improvements extend to the surrounding areas, ensuring easy access for anglers from the main parking area. Moreover, the property offers breathtaking scenery, showcasing some of the finest views in Colorado.

Game and habitat information

While wading access may seem challenging at first glance, anglers will find their footing secure once in the river. With multiple techniques and tactics at their disposal, anglers can target trout effectively. Whether opting for an 8'6" 4wt dry fly rod to pursue rising fish or a 10'3" 3wt Euro Nymphing rod, anglers are equipped for success. It's advisable to come prepared with various setups to fully capitalize on the diverse fishing opportunities this property offers.

4 out of 5 stars

It is a nice property and the caretakers were friendly. The camping area was manageable for my 18' camper. I caught several brown trout and one rainbow all in the 13-16" range. I'd give the property 5 stars but unfortunately 90% of this river stretch is ankle-to-shin deep fast moving riffles. There are only a handful of holding areas and pools. I had thoroughly fished these areas within 3 hours time so there's not really enough to keep one entertained for a whole day.
