High Mountain Creek Fly Fishing

Fish smaller mountain streams around Leadville for wild brown, brook and cutthroat trout.

High Mountain Creeks

East Fork of the Arkansas River

This creek originates at the top of Fremont Pass and is the precursor to the origin of the Arkansas River proper. This water houses an abundance of wild browns and brook trout. Winding down the Upper Arkansas River Valley, this venue offers some of the best action in the valley!

Halfmoon Creek

This creek is the natural drainage for the valley between Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive, which are the two highest peaks in the Rocky Mountains! This beautiful creek hosts rainbows, browns, brook trout, and cutthroats, making it a venue to catch the Colorado grand slam!

Busk Creek

This small water venue is set in the Hagerman Pass drainage and is a picture-perfect mountain stream. The creek is very gradient where the trip starts, with about a one mile moderate hike following the creek up to a high alpine meadow. Here is where the creek levels out and the fishing begins. The creek offers brook, brown and cutthroat trout. This trip is a unique combination of hiking and fishing in a truly special place to fish.
