Notes from the landowner

** Please note photos and drone video were taken during high water in the spring**

Located 40 miles outside of Steamboat Springs you will find this beautiful ranch with 1 mile of access on the East Fork of the Williams Fork River. Coffin Gulch Homestead is a beautiful and secluded property located on the East Fork of the Williams Fork River in Colorado. This property is perfect for those who want to escape the crowds and enjoy some peaceful fly fishing. They say Routt County has a high-density fish population with a low-density human population, the perfect combo.

Access to the river is fairly easy especially if accessing it from the bridge, the banks are not typically too steep as you move about the property but you may have to skirt around some Thornapple bushes/willows. You have access to both sides of the river. As long as the water is wadeable you can crisscross the river to hit more fishing holes and banks.

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.

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.

Beautiful stretch of water. This time of year its a bit thin so there are fewer available pools to fish. Despite this, I caught several nice fish. I met the landowner and she was pleasant and helpful. Will definitely fish this property again.

Cutthroat all day these fish don't see many flies or have much pressure and were eager to take most anything on the top Did great with Grey hopper with yellow belly, Large Stimulator. landed over 15 fish all 10 to 12in. beautiful location with easy access to river will visit this stretch again.

This was a wild day! Super Remote Feel, pulled up to a semi-washed out creek-river due to rain, so we took our time, tried about every combo of fly you could think of.....nada.....then, LUNCH BREAK, and poof around 2 pm the water began to clear and we caught a TON of cutts on dry droppers all afternoon....Ranch Owner met us, could be one of the nicest humans i have ever met, wow, helped with access info., and even helped shuttled our truck to the end when we were half way thru our day! Wonderful Property, Perfect Wet Wade Size water..... 10/10.
