In this episode of The Rise Beyond River Report, we cover everything anglers need to know about the Yampa River Fishing Closure 2025 — what’s closed, when, why, and what you can still fish.
Join us as we break down:
The mandatory full-day closure on the 0.6-mile stretch below Stagecoach Reservoir, including what triggered it and how long it might last
Details on the anticipated seasonal closure at the Fish Creek confluence to protect spawning mountain whitefish this fall
How low flows and warm water temperatures are affecting trout health, fish behavior, and CPW’s emergency response
Tips for anglers on staying legal, ethical, and informed while fishing other stretches of the Yampa
Alternative locations near Steamboat and beyond where fishing is still hot and the hatches are happening
We also talk about CPW’s closure policies, how to interpret fishing regs like a pro, and why river stewardship starts with awareness — not just fly selection.
Whether you're planning your next weekend trip or just want to stay dialed in on Colorado’s spring and fall regulations, this is the episode to hit before you tie your next knot.
Subscribe, share, and stay ahead of the closures.
