Welcome to our South Platte River Fishing Home Page

The South Platte River is a popular fishing river in Colorado.  The river begins as 3 different streams named the South Fork, Middle Fork and North Fork Platte Rivers.  Each fork originates around Fairplay, Colorado (South Park area).  There is some very good trout fishing available on this river.  On the South and Middle Forks, they are both small streams that are known for producing good numbers of small fish, but this is definitely not the part of the river to fish if you’re looking for big trout.  There are a series of dams along the South Platte River that create a series of tailwater fisheries.  Some of these tailwater fisheries are excellent for numbers of fish and big fish too.
