The Conejos River is a tributary to the Rio Grande. The lower section from Aspen Glade Campground upstream to Menkhaven Resort is restricted to fly-fishing only. The upper section from the confluence with the South Fork upstream to the Saddle Creek bridge is restricted to flies and lures only.
Fishing is good in both sections for wild brown and rainbow trout.
Part of this river has been set aside by the Colorado Division of Wildlife as Wild Trout Water.
