Estes Park Fishing



Estes Park...what do I say? Is it more about the great hiking or the high mountain fishing? Both are great. It's not for big fish, but it's the only place you can catch the Rocky Mountain Greenback. You just have to committ to about a 5 mile straight uphill hike first, and then be willing to jump over boulders in a ravine to get to the fish. Small price to pay.

I guess you could hike to the high mountain glacier lakes. It's a little more relaxing once you get there. Just lay on a rock, read a book and throw in a line. I know...mamby pamby if you are a die hard fly fisherman. But a nice change of pace once in awhile.
