Fishing Information

The house that we are staying at is on Hatcher Lake.  Fishing is only allowed on that lake with a special license through Pagosa Springs.  The lady I spoke to said that the lake is a trophy lake and since it is low this year, the fishing is really good, quick, and easy, sometimes yielding quite large fish.  If you would like to fish in the lake, we can contact the lady and she will help us obtain the license.  Whoever is getting a license must be present at the time of purchase.  The price for this license is:

ages 6 to 12  $6 for one day and $15 for a week

ages 13+       $15 for one day and $24 for a week

I assume that 5 and under are free since they are not listed.

There is another (cheaper) option of fishing in the river that goes through town.  A general Colorado fishing license is required for this and can be purchased at the main store there in Pagosa Springs.  I don't know how good the fishing is there, but I'm sure we can ask around.  The price for a CO fishing license is:

ages 15 and under are free

ages 16+ is $9 for a day pass if this is your first or second time ever buying one.  If this happens to be your third time buying a CO fishing license, a $10 fee will be added.   A five-day pass is $21 for non-residents and residents (of Colorado) can get an annual pass for $26.
