Notes from the landowner

Just outside of Boulder, Colorado, you can enjoy 0.5 miles of fishing on the North Boulder Creek in Boulder County. This property offers up total seclusion where you can immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the sounds and sight of the creek and canyon. The property is flanked by steep canyon walls with lots of rock outcroppings and a beautiful creek.

Be prepared for a bit more of a challenge to access the water. To get to the deep holes you will need to bushwhack through the willows down a steep bank. There are a few easier areas for you to shorefish around the cabin, house, and bridge but the area is tight and will require a shorter roll cast. The seclusion and beauty make this property worth the visit and is a place you can truly unplug and reset. ** The landowner is currently working on cutting paths to make access a bit easier for our anglers.**

AWD/4WD with high clearance is mandatory as the terrain is proven to be tough to navigate. You will be traveling down an unimproved dirt road with rocks and ruts. The last descent to the property is fairly steep to get down into the canyon. Please note this is in a remote canyon and you do not have cell service.

Game and habitat information

The creek is home to a variety of fish species, including brown trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout around the 6″ – 12″ range. The creek is known for its clear, cold water and its scenic surroundings, which make for an enjoyable but technical fishing experience. The best time to fish is typically between May and October. BWOs, caddisflies, and midge imitations are fly patterns that typically do well on Boulder Creek. This is pocket water/technical fishing, think 2-3 weight lines, and bring your shorter rods (6′ – 7’6″) and be prepared to use that roll cast. Look for deeper pools and pockets behind rocks and on the edge of the banks. This is a great spot for a weekend getaway for fishing enthusiasts that are looking for a bit more of a challenge!

For properties listed as "Community Adventures" there is the possibility that a limited number of other anglers can be on the property at the same time. Just a heads up, some of our spots have other leases that might have anglers casting their lines too. So, hit 'request to book' and we'll make sure to confirm the availability before you pack your gear!
We think it's important to mentor the next generation of anglers. Youth between the ages of 13 and 17 are 50% off for all fishing and small game when you reserve on the Infinite Outdoors app. However, kids 13-17 will need to have an Infinite Outdoors Membership. Youth 12 and under are free and do not need a membership but must follow all property rules.
No, most of our property listings are available to Infinite Outdoors Members without a pass. If you plan on fishing on a regular basis talk to our support team and see if a pass might make sense.

Access your adventure on the IO app before heading out the door, all the information and maps will be on the app so you don't need service to navigate your adventure. Also all property maps will download offline onto your app so you can always see where you are on the property, even without service.
We can't guarantee you'll catch fish every time—fishing always comes with a bit of unpredictability due to factors like weather and fish behavior. However, we do everything we can to boost your chances! We offer information on local fly shops so you can get the best tips and gear recommendations. As for the size of the fish, it really depends on where you're fishing. We aim to connect you with spots where you have a good shot at landing some great catches, but it's all part of the Do-It-Yourself fly fishing adventure!

Non anglers require prior approval. Once approved they must still be IO members but may be subject to reduced price or free outdoorsman fee. If this applies to you, please reach out to IO.
Your downloaded adventure and map in the IO app is your proof of booking. Be prepared to present it upon request.
Unavailable dates may be due to properties already being booked to capacity, landowners have not yet made dates available, or we are resting the property for conservation purposes. Feel free to contact an Infinite Outdoors member or support team if this issue arises.

5 out of 5 stars

Had a great time. Water was still a little fast but caught lots of fish in all of the slower pockets. Mostly Brook trout but a few rainbows too. It’s kind of hard to get around but worth it. I will definitely go back. It was my favorite property so far.
