JestersHK Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 On our way home from AZ, WY, and our Canyon trip out west we'll be stopping in CO so I can hopefully land a Colorado trout. I'll have the family in tow so looking for areas where they can find stuff to do while I sneak off for a bit to fish. Also any advice on places to stay around the area is appreciated. motroutbum I sent ya a PM, as last I read I think you were still guiding out there?

snagged in outlet 3 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 YMCA has real nice cabins near there. I stayed there years ago but was very impressed by the lodging. https://ymcarockies.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snagged in outlet 3 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 The Frazier River is nice too. There are lakes stocked with trout in Frazier too. BIG trout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JestersHK Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Thanks SiO3! I will check them out. Assuming a 9ft 5wt will serve me well? I could also just break down and finally buy a 3wt for the smaller streams. I've read that just about every stream off the roads will hold fish. Pretty excited to get out there and hopefully can land at least one LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snagged in outlet 3 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 9’ 5 weight is fine. Don’t waste your money on a different stick for a short trip. JestersHK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 YMCA camp over by Granby too. Took a family vacation there years ago. Think it is cheaper than the Estes side of the park. Did catch some trout both in the park, and down from lake granby. snagged in outlet 3 and JestersHK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 You’ll probably never get into the YMCA at this point. Maybe next year if you join and get on the list. Our favorite place was Cascade Cottages inside the Fall River entrance. Sadly they sold the property to the park and retired a couple years ago. Have stayed in condos along Fall River too—Creekside Suites a few times. Nice, right on the river, but pricey. VRBO is worth checking, there are tons of motels, and a KOA.

JestersHK Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 Thanks for the replies guys! Ok, we did some planning this evening, we are staying the night in Silt CO so I'll be pretty close to the White River national Forest on that Friday. Any areas around there that would be good? That evening we'll be heading closer to the RMNP. I have a few leads there on where to go, but any advice for around the Glenn wood springs / White River area would be great.

moguy1973 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 When we were in RMNP about 10 years ago I fished the Big Thompson River that runs down the middle of Moraine Park. Great little stream and ended up with several nice browns. Was drifting a brass bead head olive mohair leech that they were taking if I remember right.
