Taylor River Fishing Map – Colorado

Fish smarter, not harder.

This detailed Taylor River Fishing Map was created by local anglers who know the river firsthand—because they’ve spent decades fishing, wading, and exploring one of Colorado’s most technical and rewarding trout fisheries.

Covering the Taylor River from its headwaters downstream to Almont, where it merges with the East River to form the Gunnison River, this map clearly shows where you can legally access and fish the river across its full range of character—from small headwater sections to classic tailwater and lower river reaches. Public lands and access points are presented in a clean, easy-to-read format designed for real use on the water.

Tailwater Section – Below Taylor Park Reservoir

This map places special emphasis on the Taylor River tailwater below Taylor Park Reservoir, one of Colorado’s most well-known and heavily pressured fisheries. Cold, consistent releases create exceptional year-round trout habitat, making precise access and land-ownership clarity essential. Access points, walk-in areas, and parking locations are clearly identified to help anglers navigate this technical stretch efficiently and legally.

What’s Included:

• Clearly marked public lands, including federal, state, county, and city ownership

• Public fishing access points along the Taylor River

• River miles, bridges, and key reference points

• Trails and walk-in access areas

• Parking locations not found on other maps, identified through local knowledge

• High-resolution cartography designed for outdoor navigation and trip planning

Why Anglers Love It:

Unlike generic fishing maps, this map focuses on access areas and land-ownership clarity, so you know exactly where you’re allowed to be—without confusion, clutter, or guesswork. This is especially important on the Taylor, where pressure is high and access points are limited. The added parking data helps anglers spread out and fish more efficiently.

Available Formats:

• Folded Paper Map – 15x12" unfolded, 3x6" folded pocket guide, ideal for fly shops, travel, and glove boxes

• GPS Mobile Map – Compatible with Avenza Maps for offline navigation

Whether you’re fishing technical tailwater below the reservoir or exploring quieter stretches approaching Almont, this map helps you spend less time searching for access—and more time fishing.
