Situated in a parking lot above Rock Creek Lake at around 9,000′ or so lies a trailhead. This parking area is known as Mosquito Flats, and has some really fun, roadside angling for small wild trout in the form of brooks, browns, and rainbows. These fish are small…between 4? and 9?…but readily take a dry fly and can be tremendous fun on an ultra light setup. Size 18-20 dry flies and parachutes will take small brooks and browns all day long. Stimulator, Elk Hair Caddis, Parachute Adams, Parachute Hare’s Ear…all size 18-20, and all work well. Size 20-22 Bead Head Hare’s Ear

Nymph droppers also work well in the deeper runs and eddies. For the hardware guys, go ultra light, and throw tiny spoons and spinners. Don’t come up here expecting to get into any 12? monsters. This area is completely wild trout, and most of them are very small. 8? is a good fish in this small area. Take the trail up to the valley for some better fish. Stop and look at the map at the trailhead, pick a lake or creek…and go fishing.
