Colorado River
Spots along the Colorado River are accessible by car or four-wheel drive vehicles, and provide some incredible fishing for any of the many species of fish that populate the river.

Eagle River
Locals and visitors alike enjoy the opportunity to catch some large trout in the Eagle River. A catch could be as long as 18 to 21 inches. Early summer is the best time to try your luck in this river but fall can be quite profitable too.
