Brown Trout
While Ordway, Colorado, isn't renowned for its trout streams, determined anglers can find some brown trout opportunities with a bit of travel. The Arkansas River, while not directly in Ordway, is within driving distance and offers the best chance for browns. Focus on sections upstream near Pueblo or below the Pueblo Reservoir for cooler water and better trout habitat. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish for browns, as water temperatures are more favorable. Try using nymphs and streamers in the deeper runs and pools. Access to the Arkansas River varies, so research public access points beforehand. Be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends. Remember to check current regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can vary depending on the specific section of the river.
