0This Yampa River property, located just outside of Craig, CO and only 30 minutes from downtown Steamboat Springs will provide a diverse experience in many forms. Boasting over a half-mile of riverfront and a 21-acre pond, this location will provide ample opportunity to hone your skills, targeting a variety of species on both still and moving water. The mystery behind every hook set will keep you engaged as this stretch of river can produce, big rainbows and browns alongside the occasional cutthroat and brook trout. The pond boast pike, smallmouth bass, and sunfish. The pike and smallmouth bass have the potential to be a fish of a lifetime. There are no guarantees in the sport of fishing but there has been confirmed 40"+ pike and 5+lbs smallmouth from the landowner.
There is a boat put in on the lake on the Yampa property, please note this is to put your boat in by hand. No backing up to the waterfront.
Anglers will access the property with no real issues. The banks are moderate but can be steep in certain areas on the Yampa. The lake has easy access all around it.

2 out of 5 stars
The Yampa was still blown out like chocolate milk so we did not even bother. It’s a wide section of the river with not much structure. The pond looked very fishy but we did not have any luck. Fished from kayaks on the first day. The wind was getting the better of us. Next morning ( we camped) I fished the pond for 3 hours first with a streamer but there was so much moss it was a pain. Went back around with a popper and got one giant hit. It might have been the pike the owner told me about but that was it. We left before noon. The pond has reeds all the way around it. There are a few places you can get thru them on the bank to fish. I tried wading but immediately sunk to my shins in the muck. A belly boat might have been the best option but with all the moss and muddy bottom getting in and kicking around might have been a challenge. I imagine as the warmer temperatures come the moss will get worse. Camping was fine. Plenty of room for a small camper. Property was easy to find and get into. Met Michael and he was very nice. I personally would not go back. Plenty of other properties to try!
