NoNestled just 35 minutes from Silverthorne, CO, the 1.4 miles of the Upper Williams Fork River offers a welcoming escape for anglers seeking a challenge in a serene environment. The property boasts diverse terrain, presenting anglers with a variety of angling opportunities, including shallow and deep runs, as well as pools. The river gracefully meanders through a partially open canyon on the upper and middle sections, while downstream transforms into a canyon accessible to nimble anglers. Stretching over 45 miles, this portion of the river above Williams Fork Reservoir is not only a freestone river, but a haven for fly fishermen in search of a quiet stream amidst rolling hills, far from highways and foot traffic.
Anglers can expect the easiest access near the parking area. The banks are gradual in this area. Downstream has steeper access but may be very rewarding and feels very remote. Large pools and great runs. Upstream access has gradual and steeper access throughout.
The river’s size is ideal for rainbows, browns, and the occasional cutthroat trout. Fish in the river range from 4 to 18 inches, offering a satisfying angling experience. For equipment, anglers are recommended to use 8’6″ 4wt and 9′ 5wt rods. A small pond on the property adds to the allure, potentially housing fish depending on the time of year. It serves as an excellent spot for kids to practice casting. Fly recommendations include midges, BWOs (Blue Winged Olives), caddis, stoneflies, and hoppers, ensuring a well-prepared and rewarding fishing experience in this picturesque corner of nature.

Great stretch of water that really does fish longer the mileage suggests. There's tons of pockets, riffles, and structure and most held fish. I fished from 8AM - 1PM and barely fished a half of the river available. A 8'6" 4 weight was a real sweet spot and fished the water well. Fish range was 8" - 14" and I got browns and brookies. Would recommend for the folks that like classic creek fishing.

Sorry for the late review. The property is perfect. There is easy access fishing close to the parking and more difficult access fishing (north and south). I walked from the north end of the property to 2/3rd of the way up the south end of the property. Water was fast (over 300 cfs), but was able to streamer fish and catch 3 fish on the day, 2 brown and 1 rainbow. Will definitely be back this summer.

The river flows were up from the runoff. I fished the area close to the bridge and managed to catch three small trout. I hiked close to the downstream boundary and fished four pools along the way with no luck. It was beautiful further into the canyon. There were a lot of downed trees, cbut the property owner worked hard to make it passable. However, it was still a tough hike in! There were baetis and caddis on the water. A lot of willows for good bug activity. I’ll be back again with slower water!
