Louis Fur Company employed a party of 60 men under the command of Colonel William G Walton to trap beavers and other fur-bearing animals along the headwaters of the San Juan River. While it is unknown if Spanish, Mexican, or Native American explorers reached Trout Lake previously, the first record of Trout Lake was taken by an American fur trapping expedition. The population of Trout Lake grew after the construction of the Rio Grande Southern Railroad and the nearby Ames Hydroelectric Generating Plant in the 1890s. Trout Lake was originally explored by American fur- trappers and pioneers, who often used the lake as a stopping point for their expeditions. Trout Lake is a 15-minute drive from Ophir via Colorado State Highway 145 and a 20-minute drive from Telluride. Trout Lake is a lake located in southeast San Miguel County, Colorado, in Uncompahgre National Forest.
So this is rather embarassing.I've been fishing in Oregon.thinking I was in Colorado.Trout Lake (the United States) Show map of the United States yeah.so here's the thing.your comment got me thinking, so I fired up Fishing Planet. Originally posted by darrren:i think he meens the water inlet top left corner(where we used to fish rainbows) Unless hes got colorado mixed up with origon lol i think he meens the water inlet top left corner(where we used to fish rainbows) What waterfall!? <-seriously not trolling I can't find it. How about we hear from some of the folks who like it! Tell everyone why in the comments below.
I would gather that there are other simfishers out there who enjoy it too. The waterfall is wonderful and the map is beautiful.but it seems most people avoid this location. I just started to fish it, and yes the fishing net doesn't get particularly full, but I think it's really relaxing and I do catch a slow-but-steady amount of fish (bass, brown, rainbow, cutthrout on #2/0 Crank 3lbs-8lbs Spinning Setup). And I think that steers many away from ever going there.
but little about what makes Colorado special. blewberry:I am hoping to keep this thread spirited to the positive things about Colorado rather than why it sucks and what other locations are better :) there's a lot of that already.
