Fishermen have long touted Stagecoach Reservoir as the home of many record-setting pike for the state of Colorado. It is also known for being one of the greatest trout fisheries in the Rocky Mountains, period. It is not uncommon to hear people talk about catching 10-15 trout in a single guided fishing trip. While the occasional brown trout is caught at Steamboat Fishing Charters, our main catch is the coveted rainbow trout, with the average catch coming in at 14 inches long with a weight of one-and-a-half pounds. Located less than 20 minutes from downtown Steamboat Springs, Stagecoach Reservoir is fed by the pristine Yampa River and surrounded by the picturesque Yampa Valley mountains just brimming with wildlife like elk and bald eagles.
The friendly and knowledgeable guides at Steamboat Springs Fishing Charters take great pride in making sure everyone is comfortable and able to focus on making the catch during their guided ice fishing trip. We are able to facilitate a fun and distraction-free experience by providing heated huts and some of the most advanced technology for ice fishing on the lake, including fish finders and an underwater camera that will set you up for success. Additionally, we offer Starlink internet access along with a second TV, allowing you to watch the game or your favorite movie while catching fish.

Steamboat Fishing Charters offers three guided fishing trips a day on our fleet of very comfortable and well outfitted pontoon boats. Our guided day trips around Stagecoach Reservoir are three hours in duration, with a morning and afternoon option, you must call to book an afternoon trip. In addition to our day trips our unforgettable and picturesque Evening trip allows you to enjoy our amazing sunsets while taking advantage of the evening bite. We mainly target our large Rainbow Trout population with the occasional native Brown Trout being reeled in, but if you are looking to target Northern Pike just let us know ahead of time and we will set you up for success. The trout are most active and closer to the surface when the water temperature is between 50°F – 65°F however, when the water temperatures are higher than that, they tend to drop to about 30ft. But, don’t you fret if you end up fishing with us during the warmer times of the season, because our guides have the experience to get the job done and get you on the fish. While all our guided fishing trips are guaranteed to exceed expectations, our most popular is the evening trip where guests are able to soak in the beautiful Colorado sunsets and take advantage of what some believe to be the best time of day to reel in the fish on Stagecoach Reservoir.
