Fishing around Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park

Fishing around Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park is beautiful any time of year! There are several excellent outfitters and equipment rental shops in Estes Park ready to help you get set up with the correct equipment and guide you to some extraordinary fishing spots.

Fishing guides can be hired to take you fly-fishing on trips throughout Rocky Mountain National Park as well as the Big Thompson River and other private lakes. There are a variety of guide options, such as accommodations for day hikes, fly fishing on horseback trips, llama pack trips and overnight backcountry trips where the fish are plentiful and other people are scarce. In the winter, let them take you on a guided snow-shoeing trip. Get off the beaten path in Rocky Mountain National Park where snowshoes are meant to go and the breathtaking snowy views are priceless.

For the less adventurous fisherman, one can fish off the dock or off your own rental boat at the Estes Park Marina. Poles, license, bait and boat rentals are conveniently available at the marina. Spend the day tooling around Lake Estes on a rowboat, canoe, kayak, fishing boat or even a pontoon boat to fit up to nine people for your own fishing party. There is also a local trout pond in the area, ideal for family fishing.

As a beginner or an experienced fisherman, the certified guides from the Estes Park fishing shops offer excellent local knowledge. Pick up rentals or quality fishing equipment to buy and take home. Whether you opt for fishing on your own or hire a guide for a custom tailored fishing trip, Estes Park offers a wonderful fishing experience for everyone.
