Lily Lake, just south of Estes Park, has greenbacks. It's catch and release and right along the highway. A number of lakes in Rocky Mtn National Park have them as well, but are hike in lakes. If you're interested in those, I would inquire in one of the fly shops in Estes Park.

Good luck!!

I did! I ended up fishing the north fork of the st. vrain a good ways into the park and managed to pull a few out. Now I just need the rio grande and I can check off the state of colorado!!

you cant check off CO unless you hit the Arkansas, South Platte, Taylor, Gunnison, East, Roaring Fork, or Frying pan LOL
