Yes, fishing in the winter is a great way to get out and enjoy the winter landscapes! Actually, winter is one of the best times of year to fish our rivers, lakes and streams. Ice fishing and fly fishing in the Vail Valley are unique experiences that should not be missed.

The ice fishing experience is unbelievably pleasant and it only requires warm gear such as ski jackets, snow pants, sunglasses, gloves, and hats to provide the necessary warmth for the entire day.
