Wilderness Trout Fishing

Colorado Trout Fishing in the high country lakes, streams and beaverponds of Western Colorado's majestic Flat Tops Wilderness is an experience you’ll never forget. Experience superb fly fishing accessible by horseback and mule pack - string only... hard to get to, but impossible to forget.

Fish some of Colorado’s finest waters for native wild cutthroat, brook trout, and rainbow trout June through September. Ride through spectacular high country and enjoy superb Colorado fishing, the finest horses, comfortable camps, excellent meals, and personalized service Winterhawk is noted for.

Winterhawk customizes trips to meet the individual desires and needs of our fly fishing guests. Indian Cliffs Base Camp sits 9,200 feet high at the end of a four-wheel drive road on the edge of the Flat Tops Wilderness. It’s a convenient, comfortable camp, and we ride out to fish each day. Or we’ll pack into one of our remote camps, like 11,000 foot Island Lake, where the scenery is as spectacular as the fishing. Some of our guests choose to spend several days in both locations.

Trips are from one to eight days and are fully guided. Deluxe drop camps are also available for fishermen who are comfortable in the wilderness and would rather fish on their own.

Another option is the Fly Fishing School that Winterhawk offers. All phases of high country fly fishing are taught by certified instructors and you can expect to catch lots of trout while honing your fishing skills.

Thanks again for considering Winterhawk. We look forward to talking with you soon.
