Fly Fish the Rio Grande

South Fork boasts the longest stretch of Gold Medal Waters in the entire state – and our campground is located right on the banks of it!

No river is more enjoyable to fly fish in summertime than the Rio Grande in Southern Colorado. The river begins in the alpine mountains above Creede, Colorado; flows through South Fork; and on to the flattening valley floor at Del Norte. Within this stretch lies one of the most underdeveloped, pristine rivers in the entire Southwest. Both rainbows and browns abound with many tributaries running into the Rio along the way.
