DESCRIPTION

Adams Lodge Outfitters has been in business for 50 years, and is a family-owned and operated wilderness outfitting business. Flat Tops Wilderness Area is dotted with natural glacier lakes and streams, many of which hold wild brook, rainbow and cutthroat trout. The club member has two options: the first option is to ride 45 minutes after which you will encounter Marvine Creek alongside the trail; there you can stop and fish the creek. Marvine Creek is full of brook and the Colorado strain of cutthroat trout. The second option is to ride for 2 1/2 hours into Big Fish Lake, a 20-acre lake. At an elevation of 9400', it can be fished from shore, although a float tube will give better access to the 18- to 20-inch brook trout.
