World-class trout fishing can be experienced on the San Juan River at the base of Navajo Dam. Catch and Release Waters is 3.75 miles downstream from Navajo Dam; all trout caught must be immediately returned to the water. The Quality Waters consist of a 3.5-mile section teeming with rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout. This Special Catch section is posted with a daily bag and possession limit of one trout 20" or more. Year-round fishing exists in 12 additional miles of open water.

Navajo Lake has 150 miles of shoreline, holding trout, kokanee salmon and warm water species. Three full-service marinas are available.

Jackson Lake off the La Plata Hwy., has excellent trout fishing year-round.

La Plata River has good brown trout fishing each spring.
