Notes from the landowner

Access 1 mile of the Colorado River on a very secluded family ranch. Fish size averages 10-16″ with the occasional 18″ or larger trout. The lucky angler will hook up with the elusive Colorado River cutthroat!! Your views will include a cliffside with Gordon the Golden Eagle cruising around looking for lunch. There are two islands on the downstream side of the property that in low waters, are accessible. Getting down to the lower section of the river is steep. We recommend younger anglers and people with mobility issues stay on the upper section of the property.

Due to livestock and other concerns, dogs and other pets are NOT permitted on this property.

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.

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

I fished this property twice in four days. The lower section (accessed by the railroad tracks) was definitely the best of the two sections available. I fished streamers from the bank and had action from all angles: casting out and down into the current, letting it swing back towards the bank and stripping back up upstream, casting upstream and stripping back as fast as I could. The most exciting eat was when a fish came out of the current to swipe at the fly, missed, and turned around and chased it back downstream! All browns. Fished a rusty trombone solo or with a black slumpbuster trailer. There was a nice trico hatch that went off early afternoon. It was bright, sunny, mid-80s day both days on the river there. The train coming through is no joke- definitely an active railroad! The access point is pretty steep; wouldn’t recommend for anyone with mobility issues. The vegetation on the bank is thick, with stands of Russian olives to work around. The lower portion has evidence of active beavers, so be careful of their slides that can be hidden well in the overgrown vegetation. Aside from the occasional train, it was very quiet, peaceful, and the views don’t disappoint. I will definitely be back!

The property is beautiful and I didn’t even catch a fish. Got several strikes though. But the owner and his staff on site are great and very friendly and helpful. Note: The distance to the driveway from I-70 as listed in the directions to the site is incorrect. It is 12.9 miles from the turnoff from I-70. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Awesome place for all level of anglers. The river fished well in the morning using nymphs going into deep pockets. Split shots or peridots to get that trailing nymph down. Spent the rest of the time at the ponds - friend that has never fly fished caught 3 20”+ ‘bows - what a great way to quickly introduce friends to fly fishing. Will definitely book again!!
