Just below the confluence of the Colorado River and the Williams Fork River, the Parshall section offers some of the finest year-round trout fishing in Grand County. This productive stretch flows through wide meadows and cottonwood-lined banks, providing a mix of riffles, deep runs, and long, gentle glides that make for classic western fly-fishing. The steady flows from the Williams Fork tailwater help keep this water cool and fishable even through the heat of summer and into the heart of winter. Public access is excellent thanks to the Kemp–Breeze State Wildlife Area and Sunset access points, both managed by Colorado Parks & Wildlife. The Kemp–Breeze unit features several miles of restored stream habitat, with improved structure and deeper holding water for trout. Just upstream, the Sunset access offers easy wading and a quieter experience for anglers looking to explore away from the crowds. Together, these access points provide some of the best public fishing on the upper Colorado.
