Delaney Buttes and North Park lake trips
Drift boat fishing on public and private trophy stillwaters.
Sagebrush lakes grow big trout
Chironomids, Callibaetis, damselflies, scuds and leeches keep these lakes full of thick, hard-fighting fish.
We fish the Delaney Buttes, including Gold Medal North Delaney, along with Lake John and five private lakes from 3 to 250 acres.
Private lakes
Managed as trophy fisheries with rainbows, browns, Yellowstone cutthroat, cut-bows, brook trout and tiger trout. Some reach ten pounds, and most trips cover two or three lakes.

Lake trip questions
Are lake trips good for beginners?
Yes. They are a great fit for families and first-timers, and our guides know the tactics these lakes require.
Are fishing licenses included?
No. We fish in Colorado and Wyoming, and you can buy either license at the shop by cash or check, or online from the state. Check with us first so you buy the right one.
Where do I meet my guide?
All trips start at the fly shop at 524 Main Street in Walden, usually between 7 and 8 am. Call a few days ahead to confirm your start time.
