We’ve Expanded to Green Mountain Reservoir!
We now do guided Ice Fishing, Pontoon Charters and Fly Fishing on Green Mountain Reservoir. Green Mountain is located 26 miles north of Dillon Reservoir and boasts beautiful scenery, larger Lake Trout, Northern Pike and some of Colorado’s biggest Kokanee Salmon! We are currently offering our Black Diamond Pontoon Fishing Charters now on Green Mountain Reservoir that are fully guided and private! This is a great adventure for the avid outdoorsmen and women!
Fishing Packages
We operate during all times of the year with our guided Pontoon Charter Boat Trips, Ice Fishing Trips and Fly Fishing Trips.
We are located in the center of Summit County Colorado where the ski resorts of Breckenridge, Keystone, A-Basin and Copper Mountain are located as well as the town Silverthorne, Dillon and Frisco. We are also only 45 minutes east of Vail and within an hours drive of west Denver!
Primarily we operate on the incredible Dillon Reservoir which sits just below all of the world class ski resorts mentioned above. All of the runoff from the resorts filters into the reservoir and creates a beautiful alpine lake environment surrounded by magnificent 13,000ft tall peaks! We have also expanded to Green Mountain Reservoir that is situated 26 miles North on HWY 9 from Dillon!
What Sets Us Apart?
As you look to decide who you want to take you fishing, we want you to know what sets us apart and take a chance to tell you our story. We would love your business and to share our passion with you!
In 2013, Randy Ford, head guide and owner, guided the first ever permitted ice fishing trip at the lake. Since then he has lead the growth of guided fishing at lake Dillon. Randy’s deep rooted knowledge developed from 35 years of fishing at Lake Dillon has served as a foundation for our other guides to build on. Together we have built the best guide service on the lake and our ratings prove it!
In 2017 one of Randy’s clients turned in a state record Arctic char, and since then, several of our clients have released state record sized fish!
OUR FABULOUS TEAM
Our most common catch at Lake Dillon are Rainbow Trout followed by Kokanee Salmon, Arctic Char and Brown Trout. Every year we get around 30,000 catchable trout stocked and we have naturally reproducing populations of Kokannee Salmon, Arctic Char and Brown Trout. The Arctic Char were stocked from 2008 through 2015 and have been maintaining a targetable and catchable population. Dillon is on of two or three places in the mainland United States that you can catch Arctic Char. The Kokanee Salmon haven’t been stocked for over 40 years and Dillon boasts an over abundance of these small salmon. For their size, they are hard fighting and good to eat.
The brown trout have never been stocked in the reservoir and are a wild self sustaining population. They are our largest, most illusive fish to target.
Dillon has three major river inlets, the main being the Blue River that comes down from Breckenridge, the Ten Mile River that runs down from Copper Mountain and Vail pass and the Snake River that runs in from Keystone. Out in the main reservoir, there are beautiful bays, ledges, benches and structures that we fish using a variety of techniques. The deepest part of Dillon Reservoir is about 250 feet.
The reservoir inlets typically freeze up in early November and the main lake won’t typically thaw until early May.
Lake Dillon mimics the environment of the lower Arctic Circle due to its high elevation if 9017 feet! In the summer Lake Dillon has very mild weather, normally it’s not too hot nor too cool. In the winter, Lake Dillon is a true winter wonderland.
