About Arkansas River — Pueblo Tailwater

Don't sleep on the lower Arkansas. The 8-mile tailwater below Pueblo Reservoir is one of Colorado's most accessible year-round trout fisheries — regulated flows, trophy-class rainbows in the first 4 miles below the dam, and a legitimate Mother's Day caddis hatch that draws anglers statewide every April. Multiple city parks and the Pueblo Riverwalk mean you can park and be in the water in 5 minutes. Tailwater fish are selective, though — they've seen every pattern.
