Bring your camera because the Scenery is unlike anything you've ever seen. You'll fish for the endangered Greenback Cutthroat and return them back to their Alpine home (they are a protected species). This is a trip of a lifetime. For your safety, we do have a few recommendations prior to this adventure. We would ask that you are in the Estes Park area for at least 48 hours prior to your trip for altitude adjustment, and drink plenty of liquids. These are full day tours and involve a good deal of hiking. Prices for this adventure start at $600 for 1 guest and $200 for each additional guest. Higher lakes require some additional fees.

Trip: High Mountain Alpine Lakes Tour
Guide: Jeremy Y.
We planned a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park for hiking and I was interested in trying to fly fish. A friend of mine recommended Fly Fishing the Rocky Mountains. I gave Jeremy a call and he was eager to help. He suggested one of their day hikes and guided fishing trips up to one of the alpine lakes. We ended up going up to the Loch Valle for our trip. Dave was our guide and it was absolutely amazing. The hike up was great and Dave helped to make sure we had a good experience. Once we got to the Loch, we quickly went to one of Dave’s spots and we sat there a bit before we started fishing. He said the temps needed to warm up a bit before the fish would come closer to the banks to start feeding and sure enough that’s exactly how it happened. He got the rod ready and within 5 minutes he had me catching one. It was awesome. We ended up moving to another spot and the final count for the day was 7 greenback cut throat trout. Dave was a great teacher constantly helping with technique on each cast. You could tell he was having just as much fun as I was and genuinely wanted me to keep catching fish. Overall, we made a lasting memory today and something I hope to get the opportunity to get to done again. If you are looking for a guide service for fly fishing, give Jeremy a call at Fly Fishing the Rocky Mountains.
