Striped Bass
Lake City, Colorado, nestled high in the Rockies, is not a typical striped bass destination. The high altitude and cold, clear waters are far better suited for trout and other cold-water species. Striped bass are not native to this area and are highly unlikely to be found in Lake City's lakes or rivers. Therefore, focusing on other species would be a much more rewarding endeavor. The Gunnison River and nearby lakes offer excellent trout fishing opportunities. Use dry flies in the summer months for exciting surface action, or nymph fish in the deeper pools. Before planning your trip, check the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website for current fishing regulations and stocking reports for the area. Be prepared for variable weather conditions, even in summer, due to the high elevation.
