Seasons

Alpine Fishing Adventures offers a year-round fishing experience, adapting to the distinct seasons of Colorado's high country. From late November through mid-April, the focus shifts to ice fishing on both Dillon and Green Mountain Reservoirs. This period is characterized by the unique challenge of fishing through the ice, with heated huts providing comfort while anglers target species like Arctic Char, Kokanee Salmon, and Lake Trout. As the ice recedes, typically by early May, the open-water season begins with boat charters on Dillon and Green Mountain Reservoirs. The "Black Diamond" 6-hour trips on Dillon Reservoir are particularly noted for targeting trophy Brown Trout and Arctic Char, with the most productive times being before the end of June and after mid-September. Green Mountain Reservoir offers a broader range of species, including Northern Pike, and is highlighted for its spring and fall fishing. The summer months, from May through October, provide consistent action across both reservoirs with pontoon boat charters, utilizing techniques like casting, jigging, and trolling. Fly fishing on the Blue River, Snake River, and Ten Mile River is also available, catering to anglers seeking a more traditional fly-fishing experience during the warmer months.
