Mineral Mountain Outfitters offers a unique variety of high altitude fishing adventures. Whether fly or spinner, river or stream, our beautiful mountain scenery and pristine waterways will afford you a fishing experience unlike any other.
Here, you can find small fish-filled streams and creeks nestled deep in the wilderness and fed yearly by snow runoff. Several species of fish call this area home. The most common in the smaller streams and creeks are the Brook Trout. Slightly larger in size and found in larger creeks with more food supply are Brown and Rainbow trout. In certain areas you will also encounter Colorado's state fish, the native Green Back Cutthroat. The Green back Cutthroat is a threatened species, so we are unable to guide/outfit any parties looking to catch this species of fish.
Choose to fish from remote areas or more easily accessible locations, all on public land. Travel to your destination by either horseback or vehicle, depending on the location. There is a multitude of stream and river choices in the Gunnison National Forest and La Garita or Powderhorn Wilderness areas.
