Breckenridge Fishing

Don a pair of waders and cast for a variety of trout or cast your line from a raft or dory as you drift on one of many idyllic Summit County rivers and lakes. Colorado fishing licenses are required for those ages 16 and older. Local outfitters offer a variety of trips, instruction and tips about water, flies, equipment, techniques and more. A good source for fishing information is the US Forest Service. The possibilities for fine fly fishing in Summit County are endless. Fly fishing is generally done in one of two mediums. There are "Wade trips," aptly titled for the waterproof waders, or suspender pants, that allow the fisher to wade in from the shore while casting. "Float trips" incorporate both boating and fishing. A raft or boat, usually piloted by the guide, allows the fisher to access both shores. So whether from shore or from a boat, plan to cast a line while you are in town. Fishing guides have intimate knowledge of fly fishing options and can give both wisdom and guidance while helping find the right trip for you. Many offer group workshops and clinics.
