Arkansas River (South -Central Colorado)
Location: The Arkansas River below Pueblo Reservoir is approximately 100 miles south of Denver. About an hour’s drive from Colorado Springs, it is easily accessible via Interstate 25, which runs from Fort Collins to Trinidad. The closest airport is the Pueblo Memorial Airport, about 20 minutes from the water. From I-25 in Pueblo, take the W. 4th St. Exit, which turns into Thatcher Ave. Thatcher Ave. headed West turns into CO-96, which follows the river to Pueblo Reservoir.

development, The Arkansas River Legacy Project will continue its work with additional renovation. Because throughout its history the Arkansas River has been a major artery for agricultural use, not only in southern Colorado but also throughout the Great Plains, release demands have often displaced fish during the summer months. With the addition of the new structure, fish survival rates during high flows have dramatically increased, along with aquatic insect growth and subsequent size growth in the trout population. Since 2008, studies show per-mile trout population and average size to be higher
than ever. Additionally, the structural work offers anglers a much easier fishery when it comes to reading water. The Arkansas Tailwater offers a much different look than its freestone counterpart upstream, with meandering bends, deep holes, and large cottonwood groves. However, do not be fooled by the difference at first sight, as this section offers the angler just as many fish as the upper river, and shots at trophies.
