Well the afternoon thunderstorms are in full effect and there should not be much of a fire season this summer at Stagecoach Lake or throughout Steamboat Springs.
That being said there are still lots of folks having a good time fishing at the Stagecoach Lake. Most mornings have been wonderful. A little rain and clouds only seem to keep the fish active. This is not the best time of year to catch trout but the wise anglers are still finding them. I recommend dry flies early to mid morning and late afternoons. The chartreuse Power Bait on a Carolina rig always seems to work. The pike are still active and they are still hanging out on the grassy shoreline. Think big and think shiny or bright. The big ones seem to attack out of irritation as much as out of interest so do not hesitate to be persistent.
Come on out and see us. We would love to help you make the most of this short summer season. Remember to call ahead or email us for a fishing boat rental or pontoon boat rental reservation especially on the weekends. There are no shortage of fun seekers and we want to be ready and waiting to help you have a great and memorable day.
Look close. Yes that is a walleye caught at Stagecoach Lake. Taken just a few weeks ago it is proof of a reason to keep trying. Fish on!!
