WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Pitkin Lake is a remote alpine lake in Colorado's high country, supporting cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout in the cold, clear water above treeline. It offers the pristine backcountry lake fishing experience characteristic of Colorado's Rocky Mountain wilderness. Spot Features: Pitkin Lake is a high-elevation Colorado alpine lake, accessible by trail, featuring the cold, clear water and granite basin typical of Colorado above-treeline lakes. All three trout species respond to small spinners, flies, and bait. Check CPW for any artificial-lure-only or special catch limit designations. Seasonality: Cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout are active from ice-out in late spring through the Colorado alpine summer at Pitkin Lake. The best fishing window is June through September above treeline. The lake is frozen and inaccessible from late fall through spring snowmelt.
