Big Thompson
As the days get longer and the weather warms up, the snow in Rocky Mountain National Park begins to melt giving life to the Big Thompson River. Beginning as a freestone stream in Rocky Mountain National Park, the Big Thompson River meanders through the beautiful mountain town of Estes Park, into Lake Estes and flows back out where you can fish the technical tailwater at the top of the canyon. As one of the main waters that our guides focus on, the Big Thompson is one of the fisheries that we always rely on to perform for our clients. A Big Thompson River guide trip offers some of the best small river fishing we have locally. As you follow the river along Highway 34, you will find plentiful access next to crystal clear water, home to plenty of both wild and stocked trout. A beautiful river consisting of deep pools and large boulders that runs for nearly 30 miles, it is a year-round fishery in some sections allowing anglers to enjoy a Big Thompson guide trip with us any day of the year. Although Rocky Mountain National Park has several fishing opportunities, folks still enjoy the Big Thompson for its easy access and sheer beauty.
