Fishing on Fall River in Estes Park

Step outside your cabin and cast a line along approximately 1,000 feet of Fall River at Castle Mountain Lodge. With rushing water, shaded banks, and mountain surroundings, our riverside setting makes fishing an easy part of your Estes Park vacation.

Our stretch of river is stocked several times throughout the summer, and anglers can find rainbow, brook, and brown trout in these waters. Whether you’re an experienced fly fisherman or introducing your family to fishing, explore the river along our property in search of your next catch.

Catch Dinner, Make Memories

For many longtime guests, an evening fishing on Fall River is a favorite Estes Park tradition. Cast your line while the rest of your family enjoys time at the fire pit, then cook your day’s catch beside the river for a mountain meal to remember. Keep only fish permitted under the applicable fishing regulations and follow current fire restrictions when cooking outdoors.

Guests have caught trout ranging from approximately 5 to 18 inches. Every outing is different, but the chance to catch dinner the old-fashioned way is part of the fun.

Fishing Gear and Local Advice

Bring your gear, find a spot along the bank, and make fishing on Fall River part of your Castle Mountain Lodge tradition.
