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!

Good outing on N. Boulder Creek today! Hopper & dry-droppered my way up the middle of the creek (bottom to top) over 5 hrs. 37 deg water that warmed to 42... caught several juvenile brookies, a few rainbows, a pretty juvenile cutthroat and a 10" cut before leaving. Most ~6", but a fun outing anyway. IMHO, if you’ve driven into the Mirror on the Michigan property, you’ll have no problem driving into this property either. I drove an IONIQ5 in here today without issues…almost talked myself out of it due to 4x4 warnings. I’m really glad I did not.

Top notch pocket water fishing and tons of hungry trout! Tight cast lanes but the trout are forgiving. I only had a short window to fish due to other obligations but was able to rack up a good fish count. Will be back. Access to the water is as advertised with fairly steep rocky roads. Saw a moose with her two calves. Will be back.

Really pretty stretch of river with lots of hungry small brookies & cutbows! The pool at the end held a few over 8" via nymph, otherwise hopper, caddis & parachute adams crushed it. Small steam, so shorter rod is going to be helpful. Really peaceful afterwards just to sit in the shade by the river.

As for the size of the fish, it really depends on where you're fishing.
