I'm taking my 12 and 6 year old boys. My 6 year old can only hike about 2 miles per day depending on the elevation gain.

I want to make it an easy easy 2 mile hike where we can pitch the tent then fish for a few days and hike back to the car.

Lake fishing? There are sooo many places. I think you underestimate your 6 year old. When I was 5, I did a 14 mile round trip in one day in big bend. When I was 7, I did the Bright Angel trail on the Grand Canyon in one day, to the bottom and back up, all 16 miles.

Conejos County in Southern Colorado has great stream fishing that is mostly public with easy hike trails and nice campsites. We went a few years back and it was awesome!

Check out vallecito creek. nice fishing and lots of wilderness to hike in.

Pretty much anywhere in colorado will have what you are looking for.
