Trip Overview

Your day starts bright and early as you meet up with Tom Hillmann, your expert guide and local fishing guru. Tom's been chasing trout in these parts for years, and he knows every riffle, pool, and undercut bank where the big ones hide. You'll spend four solid hours on the water, with your choice of prime locations including Dream Stream, Badger Basin, Tomahawk wildlife area, Spinney Mountain Reservoir, Antero Reservoir, or Tarryall Reservoir. Each spot offers its own unique charm and challenges, but one thing's for sure – you're in for some world-class trout fishing.

What to Expect on the Water

Once we hit the water, it's all about matching the hatch and presenting your flies just right. Tom will get you dialed in with the perfect setup, whether we're drifting nymphs through deep runs or tossing dry flies to rising fish. We use top-notch gear suited for these waters – light rods, fine tippets, and flies that'll make even the wariest trout take a second look. Depending on where we fish, you might be wading in crystal-clear streams or casting from the banks of a serene mountain reservoir. Either way, you're surrounded by some of Colorado's most breathtaking scenery, with the Rockies as your backdrop.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

It's not just about the fish – though there are plenty of those. Our trips are a customer favorite because we tailor the experience to you. New to fly fishing? Tom's a patient teacher who'll have you casting like a pro in no time. Already know your way around a 5-weight? We'll put you on some challenging spots where your skills will be put to the test. And let's not forget the stories – every trip with South Park Trout Guides comes with a healthy dose of local lore, fishing tales, and the kind of insider tips you only get from spending years on these waters.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Rainbow Trout: These feisty fighters are a staple in Colorado's waters. Known for their acrobatic leaps and stunning colors, Rainbows in this area can grow to impressive sizes. They're opportunistic feeders, which means you might catch them on anything from tiny midges to big, gaudy streamers. Spring and fall are prime times for Rainbow action, but honestly, these guys are ready to play year-round.

Brown Trout: If you're after a true trophy, Brown Trout are your target. These clever fish are known for their selective feeding habits and tendency to hunker down in hard-to-reach spots. But when you do hook into a big Brown, hold on tight – they're known for powerful runs and dogged fights. Fall is the best time to target trophy Browns as they become more aggressive before spawning, but they'll test your skills any time of year.

Time to Book Your Spot

Whether you're dreaming of that 20-inch trout or just want to spend a morning in some of Colorado's most beautiful country, our 4-hour trips are the perfect way to scratch that fishing itch. With Tom as your guide, you're not just getting a fishing trip – you're getting a masterclass in Rocky Mountain angling. Spots fill up fast, especially during peak seasons, so don't wait to lock in your date. Give us a call, and let's get you on the water for a fishing experience you won't forget. Tight lines, folks!
