Description

Welcome to the Flat Tops Wilderness. Hundreds of miles of trout streams and more than 100 alpine lakes - only accessible by foot or horseback.

Whether you stay in one of our historic cabins at the main lodge, or strike off for a remote wilderness camp, you'll have the opportunity to experience some of the best backcountry fly fishing in Colorado. With a permitted area of over 150 square miles, there's more water than you could possibly fish on a single trip.

The main lodge sits at the end of the road - literally. We are surrounded by Wilderness on three sides. No motor vehicles or bikes are allowed within the Wilderness Area. These waters are accessible by foot or horseback only.

What to Expect

From the lodge, the river takes off into the wilderness both upstream and downstream, ranging anywhere from 25 to 50 feet wide - a sizable stream by Colorado wilderness standards. The river is home to Colorado River cutthroat, brook trout, rainbows and cuttbow hybrids. Meanwhile, the top of the Flat Tops plateau is dotted with alpine lakes. These lakes may contain cutthroat, brook trout or even lake trout, depending on the location.

Pricing Details

Fly fishing packages range from 2 days/3 nights up to 5 days/6 nights in length. Anglers can choose to fish out of our main lodge or a remote wilderness camp.
