Estes Park, CO

I will be there June 9-13 for my wifes family reunion, so of course I need to fish as much as possible. Will I be ski-rooed with runoff? Any tailwaters in the area? Fly shops? Brewery?

Contact Charlie at Charlie's Fly Box in Denver. He's the man. I went in and he hooked us up big time on the southe platte. And if you order some of his amazing flies, he'll give you the keys to the Rocky-Mountain-National-Park-Greenback-Cutthroat kingdom.

You should be ok in the Park, and probably on the Big Thompson.

There are 2 shops in Estes Park...

Charlies is a great shop too, especially if you're a tyer. But the otehr 2 are right where you're staying. The brewpub is near Estes Angler, just up the road from the fun park.
