The headwaters of the Taylor River tumble 9,300 feet from the high country before flowing into Taylor Reservoir. From here, the river winds through a stunning gray-to-rusty granite canyon offering year-round fishing in a picturesque setting. With its cold waters, large boulders, and diverse insect habitat, the Taylor is home to brown, rainbow, and cutthroat trout (some of them trophy-sized) eager for a well-placed dry fly.
The fish are healthy and strong, providing a thrilling challenge in swift currents. Whether you’re casting large dry flies or a size #24 midge, from a boat or on foot, the Taylor River and the broader fishery offer something for every angler.
