Private Bartle Lakes Fly Fishing Trip
Looking for that special trip of a lifetime, or just want to get away from crowds and catch a ton of fish (some being upwards of 2 feet in length)? Our Bartle Lakes trip is coveted by beginner and experienced anglers alike. In the family for five generations, Bartle Lakes are nestled at over 10,500 feet in a high mountain valley near the Continental Divide in South Park, Colorado. Surrounded by the Pike National Forest, trophy trout prosper in these tranquil lakes waiting for a skillfully presented fly. Bartle Lakes is also a perfect place for corporate retreats or large groups. Typical trip length is 6 hours on the water and includes lunch. Please call the shop with any questions.
Please note: It is Bartle Lakes’ goal to provide guides and their clients the best possible fishing experience, one party at a time. Because a reservation locks exclusive property access for that date, reservation fees are not refundable.
