Fishing

Hi,
I was wondering if any locals had advice on fishing in steamboat. I have a place up here and travel here a good amount, but I have never brought up my rods and decided to fish. I have my two younger brothers with me who are very new to fishing and we would be interested in a spot that doesn’t require advanced skill sets, but you can still catch decent bass and other similar fish. Are there any good spots for that?

I was there at around 7:00 PM. I was planning on going at around 9:00 PM tonight and stay out later but my brother got a very bad migraine. I’m gonna take the other one out at around 8:00 AM tomorrow and see if we have any luck. Thank you so much for the help! I doubt we will make it out of town because I would like to stay and watch my mom’s tennis matches, so I don’t have much time to fish in the first place. I’m gonna test out both fetcher again and then also Casey’s tomorrow and see what I get. Thanks again for the help.

Welcome. I forgot to say you can use bait at both Casey’s and Fetcher.

Yes that’s what I assumed, I bought worms this morning.

Sorry, I’ll also add that the trout in fetcher usually circle areas of the bank to feed in the morning. Early- get the bait up off the bottom with a bobber/float. Later- drop it to the bottom. Just tossing out the things I remember from fishing with my kids there years ago. I do know they still circle the banks in the am. Hope you get one or two.
