This beautiful property is adjacent to approximately 3/4 mile of gold medal water on the world-famous Arkansas River. The location is a short drive from downtown Salida, Colorado. You can expect to catch 12-16″ brown and rainbow trout.

This river stretch is located within a larger public access easement. This listing provides riverside parking access.

The Arkansas River offers both wade fishing and float fishing options as well as rafting. This property is below the Big Bend float put in, so expect to see floaters coming by and the occasional public wade fisher.

The river run is approximately 100 -150 yards. As you progress downstream, the river widens and shallows which will offer a great hopper-dropper and targeted dry fly options in the summer. Though we love this property for the dry fly fishing season during the summer and early fall, do not be afraid to nymph and streamer fish in the shoulder seasons. We recommend a 4-weight, 8′ 6″ dry fly rod for site fishing applications. Also a 9′, 5-weight as an all-around rod. As mentioned above a 9′ or 9′ 6″ streamer rod for throwing larger streamers. This fishery can be a bit more difficult to fish due to its width, but the fish are there. With a high bank, don’t be afraid to step back and target fish.
