The Blue Mesa Reservoir is the largest lake trout fishery in the state of Colorado, and it is the largest Kokanee salmon fishery in the United States. Home to many species of fish, visitors can experience ice fishing, fly fishing, and trophy trout fishing during various parts of the year. The area has a thriving fishing community, due in-part to the existence of fishing guides on the Reservoir and Gunnison River. For tour information, contact Blue Mesa Fishing at 719-649-3378 or email at fisher4ever21@gmail.com.
Moreover, the Elk Creek Marina Guided Fishing Services provides trips throughout the Reservoir, even venturing into the Morrow Point Reservoir on extended trips. The area’s thriving fishing community provides the tools and resources necessary to aid your trip, whether you’re a first-timer or veteran ice fisher.
