Brown Trout
While Firestone itself doesn't boast renowned trout streams, decent brown trout fishing can be found within a reasonable drive. The St. Vrain Creek, located west of Firestone, offers opportunities to target wild and stocked brown trout. This freestone stream fishes best in the spring and fall, avoiding the high water of snowmelt season and the low, warm water of late summer. Nymphing is a productive technique, but dry flies can also be effective, especially during evening hatches. A local tip: Access can be challenging in some areas due to private land, so be sure to respect property boundaries and look for public access points. The brown trout in the St. Vrain are known for their beautiful coloration and willingness to take a well-presented fly. Be prepared for some technical fishing, as these trout can be selective.
