Backcountry fly fishing in Rocky Mountain National Park is the highlight of many fishing trips into the park. There are dozens of options to fish, including various types of cutthroat fisheries, amazing brook trout fisheries, and even some wild rainbow areas.  Strap on your hiking boots, get some good raingear, then grab some water and a snack cause you are about to get into some epic fly fishing. 

Some of the more sought-after backcountry fishing areas in RMNP are:
EAST SIDE
  • Fern Lake Valley
  • The Loch Vale
  • Sky Pond and Lake of Glass
  • Thunder Lake
  • Mills / Jewel Lakes
  • Lawn Lake
  • Arrowhead Lake

WEST SIDE
  • Timber Lake
  • Lake Nanita
  • Haynach Lakes
  • Fourth and Fifth Lakes
To get the most out of fishing these areas don't hesitate to do extensive research before heading out. Hiking in miles only to find out your destination is still frozen, fishing is off, or you missed some key fishing spots can ruin an outing.  More likely than not fishing a backcountry lake or stream is going to produce some great fishing.
