The Los Pinos River, known locally as the Pine, is a picturesque trout stream flowing through southwestern Colorado and northern New Mexico. This remote high-country waterway offers anglers a wonderful wilderness fishing experience with abundant wild trout and stunning scenery. The river begins in the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado, flows into New Mexico making a loop of about twenty miles, then crosses back into Colorado before terminating at the Rio San Antonio. A defining feature of the Los Pinos is the Vallecito Reservoir, which bisects the river into two distinct sections—tailwaters flowing through the Southern Ute Reservation to the south, and wild trout waters stretching northward through the Weminuche Wilderness to the Continental Divide. With crystal-clear waters, a variety of trout species, and over 50 miles of stream amid spectacular mountain landscapes, the Los Pinos River provides exceptional fly fishing opportunities in a serene natural setting.
