Hike two miles toward abrams falls. Fish the horseshoe where it leaves the trail. Fish it upstream back to the trail. These are the largest and most abundant trout in the park. It’s not Colorado but it’s the best fishing in the park IMO.
Abrams creek is very slippery and if you fish the whole horseshoe it will take you all day. Be careful..
You will need to get a map of the trail and the stream. Park visitor center has good trail maps

Thanks for the info. It may be wishful thinking that I even wet a line but the fly rod doesn’t take up much space broken down so I may try and fit it into the family truckster

I agree, Abrhams Creek is a great stream with plenty of decent fish.

Another good option is Panther Creek. I believe it's off the Middle Prong river and you should be able to find the panther creek trailhead on google. Small stream full of native brook trout. My only advice is hike well past the cascades until you see the "panther creek" wooden sign. And keep going a bit further, the farther up the creek you go the better the fishing.

Good luck!

Be sure to head out with PLENTY of daylight left. Horseshoe is a booger-bear to get out from in the dark. Don't ask how I know.
