Upper Conejos River Secret Trout Spot | Colorado Rockies News

While most Colorado rivers struggle with drought and fishing closures, the Upper Conejos River in the San Juan Mountains has been crowned the nation’s top “under-the-radar” trout spot by Rightboat—thanks to its remote access, untouched beauty, and wild rainbow, brown, and brook trout. Hike in, fish hard, and soak in 14,000-foot peaks and elk-filled meadows—all while avoiding crowds. Just be mindful: voluntary afternoon closures are in place from noon to midnight due to rising water temps (above 71°F), so pack a thermometer and plan smart.
