Colorado Labor Day

HI everyone!! It's been a long time since I've been on here and it sure LOOKS different!! Hope everyone is well!

I have a friend that will be coming to Colorado over Labor Day weekend. I realize it's the WORST time to try to fish w/ the hot weather and the tourists going for one last trip.

But where can I take a newbie and 2 kids so they can get into some fish and NOT spend their entire time getting out of trees? We will probably spend a day at RMNP doing the tourist thing but after that, we have 3 days to fish.

Also, I don't own a boat and won't get into a boat. We will need a hotel one night as the flight is coming in from Brazil but I figured I can get that at RMHN but the rest can be camping / tent sites if no hotels are available.

It's been a long time since I flyfished Colorado as I have been out of state for about 3 years.

I searched the sight for Colorado and Labor Day but I am not sure if any of those sights are newbie friendly.

Anyone know of some areas we could hit?

Get a map.
Go to central Co.
Find a place called "Lake George".
Once you find that go to "Eleven mile Canyon". (Its right there.)
Its a wonderful place to go . Start fishing Eleven Mile canyon and head north . Its part of an area called "South Park" . A real world class area that will not kill a budget. If you want a budget killer you can go whole hog and get a premium fishing trip( guided, resort, the whole "executive package"). Do just a bit of research on the web , you wont be dissapointed.
At any rate ,South park is in central Co. and is one of Gods real wonders.
I cant wait to get back there.
Best wishes,
Perch

Funnily enough, Labor Day in Colorado has surprised me in the past. I think the schools start earlier than they used to, so most families are back in the school mode and don't make that last trip. One idea would be to go over Trail Ridge road and fish the Colorado, there's quite a bit of public access, and the Grand Lake area for lake fishing. With just 3 days you don't want to spend all your time driving.

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it.
