Arkansas River Pueblo | Winter Tailwater Fishery | 4K Colorado Fly Fishing Guide Video

Fly fishing the Arkansas River below Pueblo Reservoir is one of the most consistent ways to stay on the water during the winter in Colorado.

In this video, I break down how I approach fly fishing Pueblo during the colder months as well as what water I focus on, how trout behave in winter, and the strategies and fly patterns that work best on this stretch of river.

Because Pueblo sits lower and runs warmer than many Colorado fisheries, the river stays clear, flows remain stable, and trout continue to feed throughout the winter. While the fish here are still pressured and selective, the conditions make this tailwater reliably fishable when many other rivers slow down.

In this video you’ll see:
Why Pueblo fishes well in winter
How to read water on the Arkansas River below Pueblo Reservoir
