Interested in fly-fishing, but have never been? Are you unsure where to start? Rocky Mountain National Park is hosting a fly-fishing event where attendees will learn the basics.

In conjunction with the National Sports Center for the Disabled, Rocky Mountain National Park is hosting an event titled “Fly-fishing in the Rockies” on Saturday, June 21.

Participants are asked to meet at the Holzwarth Historic Site parking area, located on the west side of the park near Grand Lake, any time from 9 a.m. to noon. The event location is a quarter of a mile away down the trail to the event location.

National Park Staff and volunteers will be located near the Colorado River bridge.

Fishing will take place along the banks of the Colorado River and basic fishing equipment will be provided on-site. The event is open to people of all ages and abilities.

“Learn how to tie a fly, how to cast, and maybe even catch a fish. You are welcome to drop in, stay as long as you like, and depart at any time,” the park’s release writes.

Anyone who is 16 and older must have a State of Colorado fishing license.

Participants are also told to be prepared to spend time outside by bringing water, snacks, sun protection, appropriate clothing and other outdoor essentials.

Once the fishing event finishes at noon, an organization called the Kawuneeche Valley Restoration Collaborative will be hosting a walking tour where the public can learn about ongoing wetland restoration projects taking place in the Kawuneeche Valley. This walking tour will be approximately one hour long and hiking boots with good tread are recommended.

While both of these events are free, park entrance fees still apply. If entering the park between 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., a timed entry reservation is required. To make a timed entry reservation, visit Recreation.gov/timed-entry/10086910.

Anyone planning to attend the fishing clinic or walking tour can also enter the park any time before 9 a.m. without a timed entry reservation.

The news release from the park also writes that this event was made possible through the support of partners like the Rocky Mountain Conservancy, National Park Foundation, National Sports Center for the Disabled and Trout Unlimited, who donated fishing equipment.
