About
The trout found in these streams average 6-10 inches with the occasional 12 inch “whopper”, but on light fly rods these fish are a blast! The skills you’ll hone while fishing these streams combined with the numbers of fish often eager to take your dry fly add up to equal some of the most rewarding fly fishing you’ll experience! Heads up, fishing mountain streams can be more demanding physically as they often involve hiking, stream crossing, and scrambling over occasional boulders.
