Season:
Though our summer and fall, fishing seasons tend to be the most popular, but our winters are not to be missed. Because our season is all year long, there is a very diverse range of fishing opportunities, from casting large dry flies in summer to technical nymph fishing in the winter season. Some highlights of our season include the rainbow and cutthroat spawn in the spring and the brown and brook spawn in the fall. In each of these shoulder seasons, you can experience great streamer fishing and catch large fish that do not usually expose themselves in the summer.
Species:
Target species are brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, cutthroat trout, cutbows, pike, whitefish, and suckers.
Region/Terrain:
We are located in the heart of Breckenridge in Summit County, Colorado. There are six gold medal rivers within an hour of Breckenridge, including the Arkansas, Blue, Colorado, Eagle, and South Platte. We also fish many stillwater lakes, reservoirs, and private ranches. These waters offer diverse fishing environments ranging from small streams in high mountain plains to fishing big rivers surrounded by canyon walls and even fishing pristine high-alpine reservoirs filled with trophy fish. Our county also offers a variety of different activities for the family as well as restaurants and bars for after-fishing activities.
Typical Weather:
Weather in the mountains is always changing, but below are the typical expectations:
Spring: Can be a mix between cold evenings and cold days to sunny and 60 degrees F. We sometimes see occasional snow and rain, as well.
Summer: Absolutely gorgeous in the mountains of Colorado. Days can see highs in the 60s-90s F and evenings are pleasant and cool with the lows in the high 30s to mid 40s.
Fall: The best weather of the year, in our opinion. The Colorado high country will start seeing cooler nights and beautiful vistas with the leaves changing. Highs for the days are in the 60s and 70s F and lows are typically in the 30s at night.
Winter: Usually full-bore around here with a lot of SNOW. Snow means good year-round water, so we are always happy to see it. Highs during the day can be in the teens to the 30s F and lows can be...well cold. Our motto for the winter is "There's no bad weather, just bad gear.
