CPW invites resident and nonresident anglers of all ages to participate in Free Fishing Weekend. On June 6-7, 2026, anyone can fish for free, and the fishing license and Habitat Stamp requirements are waived, making it a truly inclusive event.

Colorado offers a diverse range of fish species to catch, including over 35 species (both warm and cold-water fish) in some of the most scenic bodies of water. Fish anywhere in 6,000 miles of streams and over 1,300 lakes and reservoirs. Find fishing locations, stocking reports and resources.

Learn more about fishing regulations and license fees in the 2026 Colorado Fishing Brochure (Pesca en Colorado​ En Español​​​​​​​). Stay updated with the latest by subscribing to CPW’s Fishing eNews and Fishing Report for monthly fishing news, stocking reports and fishery surveys.

If you are going to a state park to fish, a state parks pass or Keep Colorado Wild pass is required for entrance. No registration needed.
