Regulations
The rules for fraser River fishing vary depending on where and how you fish. You must release any rainbow trout caught in the Headwaters-to-Safeway area. You can only keep two trout in the Fraser Canyon-South area at a time. Colorado State Fishing Regulations are required for all river fishing. The Fraser River also has private property.
To reach the Fraser River you will need to first travel from Denver by train. Amtrak runs a route from Denver to Granby. The views are worth the train tickets! You can fish the Fraser River for rainbow trout as well as cutthroat trout. These fish are wild, and they don't feed on humans. They are often ignored, even during peak fishing times. However, if you plan to fish in the valley below, you will likely be rewarded with a lot more than you caught on the Fraser River.
Access
The Fraser River, the first main tributary from the Colorado River runs 32-miles from Berthoud Pass in Colorado to Granby. The river is wide and flat. There are riffles and trailouts as you can catch fish as big as twenty inches. The river can be accessed from many road turns. You can also hike or bike along Fraser River Trail through Cozens Ranch Open Space. The best method to fish the Fraser River is with dry flies and/or nymphs. You can find access points in the Fraser River Fishing brochure. Also, make sure to respect the private property near fishing access points.
Fishing the Fraser River at its best is after late fall and spring runoff. These periods are best for big caddis and BWO. The river is also usually high in the spring and fall, so you'll want to fish it during these times. If you are planning to fish the river during the fall, it is possible to have better luck with a fly pattern that's not your usual.
Tactics
Steelhead can be taken on a variety of lures, such as salmon roe, eggs, and plastic imitations. Also, live dew worms and plastics worms of various colours can be used as lures. Fly fishing is also a popular option. Steelhead are more difficult to catch than salmon. Many anglers resort to artificial lures to help them. It is also more difficult to catch steelhead than salmon because of the low numbers in the Fraser River.
Neophytes who are not experienced in fishing the Fraser River should seek out an experienced angler. This will help to avoid being swept away. Some spots are known for producing large numbers of fish year after years, but it is essential to be aware of the local conditions and adapt your tactics accordingly. The tidal Fraser section, for example, has many areas that hold fish all year. As with all rivers, the Fraser is very commercial and you must adjust to local conditions to ensure success.
