Conejos River Trout Fishing at Aspen Glade Campground

by Conejos River Fly Fishing | Aug 30, 2020 | Fishing Guides, News | 0 comments

Catching a 5-pound rainbow trout is possible on the Conejos River throughout the summer and fall seasons, but you better be willing to get up early before the fish fill up.

The campground, located on Colorado HWY 17, adjacent to the Conejos River and is wooded with Ponderosa pines.

Loop B is marked and is also lightly wooded with Ponderosa pines.

Loop C (also unmarked) is adjacent to the fast-moving Conejos River. It is below Loops A and B and heavily wooded with tall, mature spruce.

The ground cover for all loops is grass and pine needles. The smell of Ponderosa is evident in Loops A and B and one can hear the river throughout the campground.

This is a pleasant and attractive campground that is excellent for both the transient and destination camper.
