Walleye
Walleye fishing near Pagosa Springs requires a bit of a drive, as the high-country environment isn't ideal for them. Your best bet is to head south into New Mexico to Navajo Lake. While not a premier walleye destination, Navajo does hold a decent population of these fish, offering a unique angling opportunity in this part of the Southwest. Spring and fall are the prime times to target walleye, as they move into shallower water to spawn (spring) and feed aggressively before winter (fall). Jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or minnows are a classic and effective walleye presentation. Trolling crankbaits can also be productive, especially in the deeper sections of the lake. The San Juan River arm of Navajo Lake is a known walleye hotspot. Be aware of the New Mexico fishing regulations and license requirements. The walleye in Navajo Lake aren't known for their massive size, but a 3-5 pounder is a respectable catch.
