Rocky Mountain National Park

[Jay]

Gents! I grew up in Colorado and spent some time in the Park as a kid, usually chasing my camera toting wildlife artist of a mother during the Elk rut. I did some fishing all over the park, but only within dayhike distance, and always in the fall. The longest trip in we have made was into Black Lake, out of the Bear Lake TH.

I am going to be spending 8 days in Estes hanging out with the extended family. Has anyone fished anywhere in the park this early in the season? I am looking for a dayhiking destination, meaning 10 miles or less, roundtrip that I could make without snowshoes and have good fishing, preferably for Cutts.

Anybody have any amazing advice under the conditions?

Thanks guys. Feel free to PM if you would prefer not to publicize.
