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.
