Fishing Store at Montrose

Montrose follows the Uncompahgre River across Colorado’s Western Slope, with Ridgway, Blue Mesa, and smaller local reservoirs offering trout, kokanee, pike, bass, and panfish in a mix of rivers, tailwaters, and stillwater coves. Year-round opportunities range from in-town stretches of the Uncompahgre to day trips into the Gunnison and high-country lakes. ​ The best fishing store in Montrose at 3451 South Rio Grand Avenue, Unit C, is the Sportsman’s Warehouse, a practical stop before heading toward Ridgway, Blue Mesa, or nearby ponds. Inside you’ll find rods, reels, line, and tackle for both fly and conventional anglers, plus regional lures, bait, and staff familiar with current conditions on local rivers and reservoirs.
