Blue Mesa Reservoir: Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, Brook Trout, Brown Trout
Damming the Gunnison River in 1965 created the Blue Mesa Reservoir, Colorado’s largest body of water, and a fly-fisher’s playground. With more than 96 miles of shoreline, finding a shady spot to cast a line is easy. Or, if you prefer, explore the acres of the pristine blue reservoir by boat. Deep-water areas are best for landing lake trout and brown trout. Brook trout tend to stay away from the deep open waters, but are often found feeding near the mouths of rivers and streams that flow into the reservoir. Rainbow trout are perhaps the most abundant in these waters and can be found in the reservoir and river areas.
