San Juan River, New Mexico
What better way to wind down this summer than spending it in the San Juan River in New Mexico? Whether you’re a millennial or a solo RVer and angler, San Juan River is one of the country’s best fly-fishing destinations to catch big trout. So throw your lure on the water surface and wait for a brown trout, rainbow trout, or rainbow-cutthroat trout to bite it.

Bighorn River, Montana
Montana is a famous spot for fly fishing, and if you’re going to choose only one fishing destination in the state, it would be the Bighorn River. Known as one of the most productive wild trout rivers in the state, it’s a great spot to fly fish year-round. The river gravel has small crustaceans, mayflies, larva, and aquatic worms that will help you catch the trout of your dreams.
Colorado River Headwaters, Colorado
Making it to the list is another Colorado pride: the Colorado River Headwaters. Best fit for people who want to veer away from fishing with crowds, the Colorado River Headwaters makes a fantastic spot to catch several species of trout, mostly browns and cutthroats. The trout lurking in the waters may be on the smaller side, though there are some bigger ones in the deeper areas. A light rod is the perfect equipment to tackle the calm waters of this river.
