Fall Float Fishing Bighorn Canyon | Big Browns & Rainbows on the Arkansas River in Colorado

This week’s video is a little different — it’s Andrew’s birthday! 🥳
So instead of our usual fishing report, the Up River Fly Fishing crew took a rare day off to celebrate with a fun fall float down one of the lower stretches of Bighorn Canyon on the Arkansas River.

Andrew, Brad, and a few of the Up River team loaded up the rafts and hit the water for some incredible fall trout fishing. The browns are fired up, the rainbows are hungry, and the streamer, dry fly, and nymph action did not disappoint. 🎣

Even guides need a little time to recharge, and there’s no better way to do it than floating one of Colorado’s most scenic and productive stretches of river. The fall colors, aggressive fish, and crisp mountain air made for an unforgettable birthday trip.

We’ll be back next week with our regular weekly Arkansas River fishing report, so stay tuned for up-to-date conditions, fly recommendations, and more local insights from Buena Vista, Colorado.

If you enjoy seeing guides having just as much fun as their clients — give this video a like, drop a comment, and subscribe for weekly Colorado fly fishing content, reports, and adventures from the Up River Fly Fishing crew!
