Upcoming Meetings

Our club outings remain one of the greatest benefits of membership. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, these trips offer a chance to learn new techniques, discover productive waters, and enjoy the fellowship that defines the Pikes Peak Fly Fishers. Fishing alongside experienced members is one of the best ways to improve your skills while making lasting friendships. Watch your email and monthly meeting announcements for upcoming trip details.

Monday, July 13 – Tarryall Reservoir / Tarryall Creek

Meet at the boat ramp parking lot at 9:00 AM.
Shore fishing, boat fishing, and creek fishing opportunities will all be available. Tarryall offers a variety of fishing options, from stillwater trout in the reservoir to smaller stream fishing in the creek, making this an excellent mid-summer destination for anglers of all skill levels.

Thursday, July 23 – South Slope Recreation Area

Reservations are required, so be sure to secure your reservation early.
South Slope provides a unique high-country fishing experience with beautiful scenery, cool summer temperatures, and quality trout fishing opportunities. This continues to be one of the club’s favorite summer destinations.
Meet at Safeway on W. Colorado at 6:00 AM if would like to caravan

Thursday, August 6 – Pomeroy & Hancock Alpine Lakes Adventure

Join us for one of the club’s most scenic and unique high-country fishing adventures as we travel into the alpine basins above St. Elmo to fish the pristine waters of Pomeroy and Hancock Lakes.
Trip Details:

• Meet at Safeway on West Colorado Avenue at 6:00 AM to caravan.
• We will stop in Buena Vista for breakfast, fuel, and any last-minute supplies.
• A high-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicle is required to reach the lakes. Members with UTVs, ATVs, or dual-sport motorcycles are encouraged to use them, as they are well suited for the rugged mountain road.
• Expect to spend the day fishing at elevations approaching 12,000 feet.

These spectacular alpine lakes provide an opportunity to pursue Colorado River cutthroat trout and Arctic grayling in an unforgettable mountain setting. The scenery alone makes this trip worthwhile, with breathtaking views, wildflowers, historic mining remnants, and abundant wildlife along the route.
Because of the elevation, members should come prepared for rapidly changing mountain weather. Last year we had high winds. Dress in layers, bring rain gear, sunscreen, plenty of water, snacks, and be prepared for a short hike between fishing locations. A good fly rod, floating line, and a selection of small dry flies, nymphs, and terrestrials should provide excellent opportunities throughout the day.

Thursday, August 13 – South Slope Recreation Area

Our summer South Slope trips continue as we target beautiful Colorado River cutthroat trout in one of the state’s premier high-country fisheries.
Reservations are required, so be sure to secure your reservation early. We will continue to monitor lake temperatures throughout the day to ensure responsible fish handling. If water temperatures rise to levels that could stress the trout, we will plan to end fishing by noon.
Bring your favorite dry flies, nymphs, and float tube or watercraft if desired, and enjoy another outstanding day of fishing with fellow club members.
Meet at Safeway on W. Colorado at 6:00 AM if would like to caravan

Thursday, August 20 – South Slope Recreation Area
