Colorado Fish I’d Love to See at the End of My Line
There are so many fish I haven't caught in Colorado that I would love to catch. These are the types of Colorado fish I would love to see on the end of my line.
While taking a walk in Grand Junction and with perfect timing, I watched a fisherman catch a massive carp. It made me think 'well hey, I'd love to catch a carp.' Well, carp, and a whole lot of other kinds of fish too.
These are the seven types of Colorado fish I'd like to see at the end of my line.
- 1
Razorback Sucker
I love to catch and release, which is exactly what I'd do with a razorback sucker. I kind of have to, considering it's a protected fish here in Colorado. It's odd shaped head and weird fins make this a crazy looking fish.
- 2
Kokanee Salmon
There's something strong and beautiful about salmon and I'd love a chance to catch any kind. This kind of salmon can conveniently be found in Durango. A new lake, Lake Nighthorse, is stocked with trout and kokanee salmon.
- 3
Cutthroat Trout
Trout, in general, are beauties. I'm excited any time I see one at the end of my line. You can tell the difference between cutthroat and rainbow trout by the cutthroat's heavier spotting near their tail and their red slash.
- 4
Carp
Although not everyone likes fishing for carp, I do. Carp are huge and to feel that weight on my line would be an absolute rush. Watching someone else catch one make me want to catch one even more.
- 5
Grayling
Graylings are a strange looking fish with a sail for a fin and a silver body. I can't say I can think of a fish that looks like a Grayling. They're usually less than 12 inches but who says size matters?
- 6
Humpback Chub
This is another fish with a crazy look. Its head almost looks like an evolved turtle. This is another protected fish here in Colorado. I just want a picture of the humpback chub and back to the water, it goes.
- 7
Tiger Muskie
Even the name of this one just sounds cool. The tiger muskie is a hybrid of northern pike and muskie. The largest fish ever caught in Colorado was a long-snout with a lot of teeth having striped tiger muskie.
