About Our Club - Fishing At Rainbow
Fishing at Rainbow Falls is legendary.
Nearly anyone you talk to has their own memories of fishing at Rainbow Falls. As Colorado’s Oldest Trout Farm, we have been raising trout and stocking the lakes for over 135 years. With it’s 9 lakes, the possibilities are endless. What separates Rainbow Falls from other areas is the Big Spring, which produces a constant 51 degree flow of water, channeled through our Trout Raceways, raising over 20,000 new trout year-round. This runs into our “Spring Lake” which never freezes, then 2 more lakes, joining our Trout Creek lakes downstream. We practice catch and release on all lakes with the exception of Spring Lake, which allows adults and youth alike the complete fishing experience. All our lakes are stocked and provide a wide variety of fishing experiences. Come enjoy fishing at Rainbow- and make your own memories!
