Uncompahgre River Fishing Map – Colorado

Fish smarter, not harder.

This detailed Uncompahgre River Fishing Map was created by local anglers who know the river firsthand—because they’ve spent decades fishing, wading, and exploring one of western Colorado’s most unique and productive fisheries.

Covering the Uncompahgre River from Ouray downstream to Montrose, this map clearly shows where you can legally access and fish the river across high-mountain headwaters, canyon sections, and the fertile valley reaches near town. Public lands and access points are presented in a clean, easy-to-read format designed for real use on the water.

Tailwater Section – Pa-Co-Chu-Puk

This map places special emphasis on the famous Pa-Co-Chu-Puk tailwater, one of Colorado’s most productive and heavily pressured sections. Cold, consistent flows create exceptional trout habitat year-round, making access clarity and land-ownership awareness critical. Walk-in access points, parking locations, and public land boundaries are clearly identified to help anglers navigate this popular stretch efficiently and legally.

What’s Included:

• Clearly marked public lands, including federal, state, county, and city ownership

• Public fishing access points along the Uncompahgre River

• Coverage of the Pa-Co-Chu-Puk tailwater

• River miles, bridges, and key reference points

• Trails and walk-in access areas

• Parking locations not found on other maps, identified through local knowledge

• High-resolution cartography designed for outdoor navigation and trip planning

Why Anglers Love It:

Unlike generic fishing maps, this map focuses on access areas and land-ownership clarity, so you know exactly where you’re allowed to be—without confusion, clutter, or guesswork. This is especially important on the Uncompahgre, where public access, private land, and irrigation infrastructure intersect closely. The added parking data helps anglers spread out and fish more efficiently.
