Uncompahgre River Walk Wade Trip

Fly Fish the Uncompahgre River The Uncompahgre River, or the “Unc” as it is locally known, births high in the windswept San Juan Mountains and slogs northward through the towns of Ouray, Ridgway, and Montrose as it makes its 75 mile voyage toward a marriage with the Gunnison River in Delta.    Further downstream, the Uncompahgre River runs through the town of Montrose and may be the best kept fly fishing secret on the western slope of Colorado.  The town stretch of the Unc offers great fly fishing for browns, rainbows, and cutbows, year around. Strong midges hatches occur near daily throughout the winter months, while terrestrials and stoneflies make up these trout's diet for the summer months. Although the average fish size is lower than other rivers in the area, 20-plus inch trout are not uncommon.   Our experienced guides will take you on a journey into the heart of the Rocky Mountains, where you'll have the opportunity to catch wild rainbow and brown trout in one of the healthies
