Walleye
Walleye fishing near Ouray, Colorado, means traveling to find suitable habitat. Ouray itself, nestled in the San Juan Mountains, lacks the large, warm-water reservoirs that walleye prefer. A worthwhile trip would be east towards the larger reservoirs on the Western Slope such as Blue Mesa Reservoir, or even further east towards Pueblo Reservoir. These larger bodies of water offer the best opportunities. Spring and fall are peak walleye seasons, as they move into shallower water to spawn or feed. Jigging with minnows or worms is a classic and effective technique. Trolling crankbaits is also a popular method, especially in deeper water. Pay attention to depth finders and look for drop-offs and submerged structure. Be aware that Colorado Parks and Wildlife manages these fisheries closely, so check the current regulations for size and bag limits, which can vary from lake to lake. Also, boat ramps can get crowded during peak season, so plan accordingly.
