Rocky Mountain Fishing in Winter Park, Colorado

Catching fish couldn't be any easier than here in the Fraser
Valley. You can wade 1,000 miles of streams, wander
around 1,000 acres of high mountain lakes, or troll 11,000
acres of reservoirs.

Whether you're fly-fishing or have a night crawler on the end
of your line, you can find many different species of fish
throughout Grand County. Rainbow, cutthroat, brown &
brook trout can be found in most of the rivers, while
mackinaw and kokanee salmon cruise the depths of the
larger bodies of water.

The Colorado River offers gold medal trout fishing with
some of the biggest browns and rainbows found in the
state. The Fraser River runs through the town of Winter
Park, as well as the resort, and is fed by many other great
little secluded creeks with hidden pockets of trout. St. Louis
Creek and Willow Creek offer brookies, bows and browns
with scattered creek-side campgrounds.

The four major lakes of the area are located in the Granby
area, and offer plenty of ramps & marinas for boating
enjoyment. With 7,250 surface acres and 40 miles of
shoreline, Lake Granby is known for its big mackinaws.
Grand Lake, the largest natural lake in Colorado, and
adjoined Shadow Mountain Lake can also produce 20
pounds macks. The lakes of the area are also well known
for great ice fishing in the winter.

You just never know what the snowmelt will do in the high
country, but one thing is for sure, it will produce an
abundance of streams and lakes to choose from. The
seclusion and surrounding wilderness will make you feel
like an early American explorer, discovering your own trout
paradise.
