Fly fishing the Arkansas River tailwater below Pueblo Reservoir! My successful flies were black mini leeches (unweighted) and juju baetis.

Thank you for this video! I live on the Western Slope and will plan a trip this Summer to go fishing in Pueblo.

Do it! Couple additional tips: 1. Go on a week day if you can (there were 200-300 people on the river on this Sunday) 2. fish the fast water in addition to the deep/slower runs, the fast water is loaded with juvenile rainbows. 3. Don’t leave anything visible in your car, as break ins can be a problem in Pueblo. I’ve had no issues in 2 trips down there, but it pays to be aware ahead of time.

By summer the reservoir has started its summer discharges for irrigation so wading becomes a bit harder. Best time is still fall/winter/spring after BOR starts winter storage and water flows drop.

@@altrujillo3566 I want to go in late summer for some catfish. I heard there is flathead catfish in that spillway and the lake?

@@ferrari_guy3570 A good time to be there at night. You might also take a look at the spilling basin on John Martin Reservoir. Been a while since I've been there but I remember some nice fish coming out of there. Call the aquatic biologist at Pueblo and Lamar for better info.

Looked like a beautiful day on the tailwater. I haven't fished that area in over 15 years. Hoping to make the club trip.

Yes it was like 68 and no to low wind. I think it would be great on a weekday. I think the club trip in Feb is on a Monday, which is ideal. For example, I didn’t fish a single typical plunge pool all day because there were 2-3 anglers in each one haha.
