Cozy and elegant with two guest cabins, a fieldstone fireplace and fresh caught cuisine, Elktrout Lodge is situated on ten miles of private water, carefully nurtured to provide one of the best fishing experiences in North America. This angler's and hunter's paradise has access to ten miles of the Colorado and Blue Rivers, the teeming Troublesome Creek, and eighteen pristine spring-fed ponds combine large cruising fish with the added dimension of sight-casting. Here, the fish average two to three pounds, but up to 10-pound fish are caught regularly. Wake up early to the aroma of fresh brewed coffee and get out on the fresh water ponds and rivers for Rocky Mountain fishing at its finest!
Each morning professional guides carefully select fishing hot spots that promise to make for an exciting day of casting. You will be challenged by the pond, creek and river environments available at Elktrout. Come prepared for a fight as large, strong brown, rainbow, cutthroat, and brook trout make you work for each catch!
Elktrout Lodge owns ten miles of pristine waters including stretches of the Colorado River. It’s not unusual to see horses, cattle or the occasional buffalo herd on neighboring ranching land, or Rocky Mountain wildlife including beavers, deer, and elk. Take in this stunning setting while attempting the perfect cast!
