Fishing was not amazing.

We tried Lake Mary and Estes Park Lake from shore. There were a lot of 4 inch trout. Maybe that's the size they stock there?

Did see a few people catch a few 10 inch rainbows, but only a handful considering how many people were fishing and how long we were there for. The kids did get to catch a few of the 4 inchers so that was a positive :)

I tried for an hour or so in the river near Estes Park. I think it was the fall river? Hooked two brown trout on pins minnow and lost both. One was 12 inches I guess.

We also tried for 15 minutes in some creek up in rocky mountain national park. The creek was raging full of water! I saw a few fish, 8 inchers, but they wouldn't bite. The water was super cold.

The water all around the park was high and fast which may have affected the fishing. In the end, it didn't really matter. We had a nice vacation and the scenery was beautiful. Here's some shots of Derek and I trying our hand.
