Fishing

Lake City is a great place to fish in solitude, or to take your family on a fishing
outing.  Deer Lakes is a particularly good place for teaching kids how to fish.  
The waters in the area are home to five varieties of trout:  Brown, Cutthroat,
Rainbow, Cutbow (Cutthroat/Rainbow Cross), and Brook.

Different waters have different regulations and catch limits.  Check the
Department of Wildlife’s annual fishing guide for more information.  Licenses,
equipment, bait, guides, and lessons are available from
local fishing outfitters.
