September 23 – Jefferson Lake Fall Colors Adventure
Join us on Wednesday, September 23, for a fall fishing trip to Jefferson Lake, an alpine destination nestled high in the Rocky Mountains. By late September, the surrounding aspens should be displaying their autumn colors, making this one of our most anticipated outings of the year.
Jefferson Lake offers excellent fishing for rainbow, brown, brook, and cutthroat trout. Fish from shore or explore the lake by float tube, pontoon boat, or kayak.
Meet at the Jefferson Lake parking lot at 9:00 AM. Members wishing to caravan should meet at Safeway on West Colorado Avenue at 7:00 AM.
Directions: Travel approximately 47 miles west on US Highway 24 to Lake George, then turn right onto Park County Road 77 (Tarryall Road) and continue approximately 18 miles to Jefferson. Turn left onto US Highway 285 North for approximately 0.3 mile, then turn right onto Michigan Creek Road (Park County Road 35) and continue about 2 miles. Turn right onto Jefferson Lake Road (Park County Road 37) and continue another 2½ miles to the Jefferson Lake Recreation Area entrance and parking lot.

October
Special Club Fishing Trip – In the Works
We are currently working on plans for a special October special fishing trip. The goal is to put together a trip that gives members an opportunity to fish somewhere a that is special and enjoy a true destination-style club outing.
The details still need to be finalized, including the destination, date, and fishing opportunities. Rather than announce the trip before everything is confirmed, we will provide the complete information once the plans are firm.
Stay tuned—more information will be announced as soon as the October destination trip is finalized.
November
No Club Fishing Trip Scheduled
There will be no organized club fishing trip in November. With colder weather arriving, the holidays approaching, and fishing conditions becoming less predictable, we will take a break from the regular trip schedule for the month.
This could change if the kokanee and browns are running tin the Dream stream this year. Stream flows and weather will be followed closely.
Members are, of course, encouraged to continue getting together and taking advantage of good late-fall fishing conditions whenever Mother Nature cooperates.
December
Wednesday, December 10 – PPF Winter Luncheon
We will close our 2026 club activities with the Pikes Peak Fly Fishers Winter Luncheon. Our monthly club luncheons will be the second Wednesday of the month in January thru March.
Time: 11:00 AM
Location: Mollica’s – Garden of the Gods
This will be a relaxed opportunity to get together away from the river, enjoy a good lunch, visit with fellow members, swap a few fishing stories, and look back on another year of Pikes Peak Fly Fishers trips and activities.
Come join us for some good food, good conversation, and plenty of fly-fishing fellowship as we wrap up the year and start looking forward to another great year on the water in 2027.
Our community is only as strong as its volunteers, we'll be announcing additional volunteer opportunities as the summer progresses.
