1. Fishing near Breckenridge
Breckenridge is often called the outdoor enthusiast's paradise and is one hour away from
Denver. There are many areas for fishing in Breckenridge and these areas are given
below.
Upper Blue river
This runs through the heart of the city and it settles into an easily fished river. Blue
Wing Olive hatches can be enjoyed and during the mid-summer, thousands of Green
Drakes come out.
Lower Blue river
In the area through which it flows, this is the most popular tailwater. Here trouts come
in large quantities to feed on Mysis shrimps. High-mountain trouts can be caught in
great quantities here and this is a very popular spot for catching these.
Montgomery reservoir
This is a remarkably beautiful reservoir and is at the base of Hoosier pass. The
Montgomery reservoir has a supply of 20,000 rainbow trout which come each year and
you can catch them using bobbers, lures and flies.
Streams and high mountain lakes
You can also find a stream or a small lake and fish calmly away from the crowd. For
this you may need to explore the place and it may require hiking but the effort will be
worth it. You should fish the lakes that have trout lures and you should use worms and
flies. You can try the Upper and Lower Mohawk Lake, the Blue lakes and the
McCulloch Gulch.
