Join us for the fishing trip of a lifetime! Spend the weekend backpacking and fishing in God’s creation at North Brush Lakes. The North Brush Lakes are located just south of RTLC in the Sangre de Cristo mountains nestled at the base of Lakes Peak Mountain, and are home to 2 trout species, Brooke trout and Cutthroat trout. Bring your fly fishing gear or book rental gear when you register! Waders are recommended but not necessary. Backpacks, tents, and all meals are provided throughout the trip. Participants are responsible for their own fishing gear/hiking apparel such as boots, and sleeping bags. All other equipment is provided by RTLC. If any gear is needed (such as sleeping bags, headlamps, etc) then please contact Will@rainbowtrail.org.
