Red Feather Lakes, Colorado

Epic multi-species second session today with the boys! Big Bows, Master Angler Perch, and even a Walleye at 8,500 feet above sea level. What a cap on a beautiful weekend!

I forgot to post this little Golden Nugget a few weeks ago. My Fist Master Angler Perch in Colorado.

Some fatties this morning with the boys and the first lake. Onto the second one. Private water today. Spoiled. Let’s go!

3 Bill's went on a fishing trip today, and we smashed em! The trout are spawning, and we could see 20 Palaminos stacked up in the cove. I wild day with a few 11" perch to end the evening!

Spent a few hours today in the Red Feather Lakes area. I guess most lakes here are private and even the public lakes have a day use fee of $9. After paying for a fishing license as well as national, state, and county park passes, I didn't know there were still public lakes where I had to pay to fish. Parvin Lake, however, doesn't seem to have a fee. I caught one small rainbow in Parvin and then searched for another fee-free location. And I found a beautiful stream on national forest property with a healthy population of wild brook trout.

Opening up the lake as We caught the first ice trout of the season and the next 20!

It was a great opening day in Red Feather this year. Nice 20"er and a Palamino taboot.
