Southern Ute Tribal Member Fishing License – Reservation

Fishing by Southern Ute Tribal members is allowed along all waters on all Tribal trust lands on the Reservation. For fishing on unassigned tribal lands, Tribal member fishermen are not restricted to access points and stream corridors. However, to fish on assigned tribal lands, tribal members must use the designated access points and stream corridors as described above for non-Tribal members. Tribal member fishermen are responsible for knowing where Tribal land assignments occur, and fishing is the only activity allowed while accessing Tribal land assignments.

All fishermen are asked to respect Tribal land! Do not litter, cut fences, leave gates open, drive or park in inappropriate areas, or engage in any non-fishing activities. Always remain within the specified corridor unless there is an emergency, never trespass on private property, and contact the appropriate authorities if you see violations being committed. Activities by non-Tribal members other than fishing are strictly prohibited and violators will be prosecuted.

Fishing on Tribal land is a special privilege granted by the Tribe. Following the rules and showing respect for the land will ensure that this privilege continues.
