In an area steadfast to its classic Western origins, there is an atmosphere that ignites both passion and motivation to experience the natural beauties that surround this area. Whether on horseback or on foot, one quickly becomes immersed in this gorgeous environment. The San Luis Valley is teeming with wildlife and ripe with recreational activities, providing something for everyone. The Rio Grande Sanctuary, on the western side of the valley, contains these activities and more, within its boundaries. The abundance of water and cottonwood canopy creates an attractive habitat for water fowl, wild turkeys, mule deer, and elk. Five miles of private Rio Grande River access, coupled with three trophy ponds create the premier trout fishing experience. Homage must also be paid to the agricultural potential of this land, as the nutrient rich soil has historically yielded plentiful harvests. These are brief overviews of possibilities available at the Rio Grande Sanctuary. Explore more options to fill the cool crisp days by inquiring about one of the two home sites available at this time. Known as the Upper Rio Grande (also the Rio Grande del Norte), this area includes the river from its headwaters in southern Colorado as it flows from the rugged San Juan Mountains through the San Luis Valley. The months of June to October are generally regarded as the best times to fish the river. The Rio Grande fishes well in pre-runoff, and in fact, even though the river can be swollen during runoff, trout can be had pretty much all season. In the mountains, the river freezes over in winter. Best known for its large brown trout, the Rio Grande’s dominant species is the stocked rainbow. Brook trout can be caught in the headwaters, as can the occasional Rio Grande cutthroat. Most of the brown trout are wild, but the rainbows caught are generally stocked. The brown trout have a strong self-sustaining population and will be the fish most often caught from the Rio Grande. The other resident populations, especially the rainbow trout, have been establishing themselves with self-reproducing populations also. In recent years, the Colorado Division of Wildlife has started stocking a higher-quality, stronger strain of hatchery rainbow trout, a wild trout strain that seems to have improved the angling quality already. The rainbows are catchable sizes, 9-13 inches long, but some holdovers do reach 16-20 inches. The brown trout fishery has some awfully large browns, over 5 pounds and up. There is an amazing number of brown trout in the 16-20 inch range, but the largest are not always easy to catch. The Rio Grande from the area just above the Rio Grande Reservoir to the San Luis Valley has the best angling. The upper river has sparkling, clear pools holding brown trout bigger than ought to be in a stream less than 20-30 feet wide. The brook trout caught are a palette of colors. Much of the upper river is difficult to access and requires a four-wheel drive vehicle to reach, and after you reach the areas, they often require a hike. The headwaters of the Rio Grande provide diverse fishing conditions, such as angling in meadow stream areas, or dancing riffles, or around large in-stream rocks. The narrow gorge that the river runs through below the Rio Grande Reservoir is one of the prettiest places anywhere, especially in the fall when the aspen are aflame in gold, red, and orange, but the canyon is next to impossible to enter. The main fishery starts near Creede, at the Rio Grande Fisherman’s Access Area, and all along this stretch the angler will find excellent access to the pocket water and swift runs. Above this area to the headwaters, there are over 50 fishable tributaries well worth the effort it would take to reach them. As the river flows toward the border, it picks up many more feeder streams and takes on the appearance of a major river, growing to about 100 feet wide on average.
