About
The Uncompahgre River offers excellent trout fishing opportunities, particularly in the tailwater section below Ridgway Reservoir. This stretch holds healthy populations of rainbow and brown trout. The Pa-Co-Chu-Puk area of Ridgway State Park provides well-maintained access with trails and fishing platforms. Further downstream through Montrose, restoration efforts have improved fish habitat and access points. The river fishes well year-round, with spring and fall typically providing the most consistent action.
