We took some scouts a couple of years ago to Lower Bowns reservoir and caught a bunch of fish, almost every cast. They were all smaller though not like the trophey class fish you hear of in the Boulder lakes. You can drive to and camp right at the lake and it makes a good base camp. There are a bunch of lakes nearby that you can hike into, we hiked into Oak Creek reservoir for a night while we were there, beautiful lake that is supposed to have some big brookies, but we got skunked. We are going back down the in a couple of weeks with a new group should be fun. Also calf creek falls is only about 45 min drive from Lower Bowns, it is a great place to go beat the heat in the hot summer sun, do it early in the morning because ther is about a 1 1/2 hr hike along the river bed to get there but once there you can swim and play in the 120' waterfall. Good luck!
