Taylor River (Southwest Colorado)
Location: Southwestern Colorado, a 4-hour drive from Denver; 3 hours from Colorado Springs; 3 hours from Grand Junction; 45 minutes from Gunnison County Airport.
.....
Taylor Dam in 1937. Water is released from the bottom of the reservoir. This release will have varying temperatures throughout the year; winter months 39 to 42 degrees. Due to this variation, the elevation and very cold winter temperatures, the tailwater will be a year-round fishery from the point of release to 5 or 6 miles downstream. Steep canyon walls shade a lot of the river during the winter months, causing snowfields and ice to completely encompass the sections further from the dam, deeming them un-fishable. Mid-March to early November will see the entire 25-mile section become very fishable and productive.
Water releases from Taylor Reservoir fluctuate seasonally and stay consistent throughout. The snowpack runoff dictates release, with a normal year seeing flows coming up by late April to 500–800 cfs, usually stabilizing by late June between 225–375 cfs. September will see a ramping down of flows, with reductions of 50–75 cfs staggered reaching a winter flow of 79–100 cfs for the winter months.
