About Slate River
Slate River is a river flowing through Colorado, United States. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Slate River, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques
- For Brown trout
When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
- For Brook trout
Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.
- For Rainbow trout
Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
