Program: Fishing the High Lakes in Colorado's Front Range
Speaker: RON BELAK
Your usual “hole” over at the river too crowded?
There are over 75 high lakes in Colorado's Front Range, and most offer
uncrowded fishing in a pristine alpine setting at or above timberline.
Accessible by day-hiking, these lakes are regularly stocked with
fingerling cutthroat trout that commonly grow to 12 to 16
inches. Under ideal conditions, cutts in these lakes can reach 4
pounds, and one lake even produced a 19-pound lake trout that was
thinning out the local brook trout population!
Ron Belak, a long-time member of
Evergreen chapter of Trout Unlimited, has fished the high lakes of
Colorado's Front Range for over 25 years. He has published about 30
articles on fishing and over 150 photographs in Colorado Outdoors,
American Angler, and fly Fisherman magazines. Ron's infectious
passion for fishing the high country will fire you up and make you want
to bust through snowdrifts so that you can be the first to dangle a fly
above timberline!
