Blue Mesa Reservoir
Blue Mesa is the largest body of water in Colorado, and also holds some of the biggest fish in the state. With that comes some controversy. Blue Mesa is mainly managed as a kokanee salmon fishery and is a great one. It also is home to the fastest growing lake trout in the world! Even though they grow faster than anywhere else, they are still a very slow growing fish and their numbers are unfortunately decreasing rapidly. Every year way too many of these 20-50 year old fish are taken out of Blue Mesa due to fishermen and regulations that push for removal of these magnificent fish. It is our goal to push for a balance in Blue Mesa and to preserve one of the WORLD'S best lake trout fisheries.
Blue Mesa is also home to some of the best brown trout fishing in the state. Every spring and fall the trout are in the shallows and on the feed! This makes for some of the fastest action fishing that you can find anywhere.
Our goal in guiding Blue Mesa is to help you learn the tactics and skills of catching and releasing these awesome fish. All of these trips are either casting or jigging with fairly light tackle from a new Ranger Z521L. We are not the guide service to troll lures and hand you the rod once a fish is on.
