FLY
FISHING IN THE DURANGO AREA
Southwest
Colorado Fishing Conditions
The
Durango area has some of the best quality fishing in the USA. From the
San Juan mountain high country to the semi-arid San Juan river tailwater,
worldclass fly fishing for trophy size trout awaits the angler year-round.
From the wild and free-flowing Animas river which can be fished in the
middle of town to remote high country lakes in the middle of the largest
wilderness area in Colorado, the Weminuche Wilderness, to the world
famous tailwaters of the San Juan River below Navajo Dam, the Durango
area has it all.
In the next few pages, brought to you by Duranglers
the local fly fishing outfitter for all your fly fishing needs, you
will be introduced to the Durango area fly fishing experience. We hope
this site and the fly fishing info you will find here will help you
have a wonderful fishing experience in Durango!
