Fly Fishing Rocky Mountain National Park backcountry

The Western United States holds a wide range of opportunities for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. With both the Southern and Central Rockies running through it, Colorado is truly a mountain paradise. For a lot of folks like myself a trip out to this great state would be the absolute highlight of the summer. With Denver's airport and the proximity to most of the Midwest, there are bound to be a lot of visitors. Breckenridge, Aspen, Durango, and Vail are all well known "tourist" destinations. However, Estes Park Colorado is one of the most popular mountain towns in the entire state. This has almost everything to do with it sitting on the doorstep of the world famous Rocky Mountain National Park. Nestled up and over the Front Range, Rocky Mountain National Park is truly a natural wonder to behold. We got to see a great deal of the park during our visit, especially the lesser known Wild Basin side. To start the trip we clambered up the alluvial fan at the Lawn Lake trail and fished Roaring River. This stream is mostly intimate pocket water, but is home to the extremely rare Greenback Cutthroat Trout. After that we made the easy hike around Lily Lake, which does not seem to have any fish. The biggest part of this trip will take us all the ways up the Wild Basin Trailhead, following the Thunder Lake Trail. This hike has some of the best waterfalls in Rocky Mountain National Park. Along the way you pass both Calypso Cascade and Ouzel Falls. These two massive waterfalls will undoubtedly take your breath away. You will follow the North St. Vrain all the way up to where it flows out of Thunder Lake. Backpacking and camping at Thunder Lake should be on any backcountry explorer's bucket list. With how close the campsites were to Thunder Lake, the entire group had ample opportunity to fish for the trophy Greenback Cutthroat that call this lake home. For adventure and solitude, this might be the best place to fly fish near Estes Park. Box lake is a lesser known alpine lake that sits on the Wild Basin Side of Rocky Mountain National Park. It is best reached by following the Thunder Lake Trail, which is around a seven mile hike (One way). Once at the lake you will find a small path on the backside of the outlet. Following this trial will bring you up and over the pass and into the tiny saddle that holds Box Lake. This high country gem holds a very hungry population of wild brook trout. When I say it is almost a fish on every cast, I’m not kidding. They do not see many flies or spinners throughout the year and are not afraid to eat.
