River Information

The Williams Fork river is another tributary of the Colorado worth exploring. The river is divided by Williams Fork Reservoir. The upper section is a classic high mountain stream ideal for a small 1-3wt fly rod and a box of bushy dry flies. The tailwater section below the reservoir is where most people head when fishing the "Willy's Fork". This tailwater can be quite susceptible to annual flows and the fishing can be very tough during low water years. During normal to high water years, the fishing can be superb, offering anglers the chance to catch sizeable, hard fighting Rainbow and Brown trout. This tailwater section is fairly short, coming in at about 2 miles long, before it reaches the Colorado River in the town of Parshall.
