The town of Estes Park is at the confluence of two rivers that flow from Rocky Mountain National Park — Big Thompson and Fall River. Two lakes and a marina (Lake Estes, Marys Lake and the Lake Estes Marina) also provide good fishing opportunities. The Colorado Department of Wildlife stocks some of the waters so a fishing license is required for those 16 and older. One day licenses are available. Licenses aren't required at the private trout ponds where you pay by the inch for the fish you catch — a sure thing — and they clean them for you.
Rocky Mountain National Park offers a variety of rivers and alpine lakes for fishing. Fall River in Horseshoe and the Big Thompson in Moraine Park are easy-access favorites. There are a few catch and release fishing areas in the Park, so be sure to check with Park Information for these locations before starting your fishing expedition. Fishing licenses are required in the Park.
For the ultimate convenience, stay at a lodging property located on a river or lake.
