Notes from the landowner

Located just outside of Pinedale, Wyoming, this property offers access to 2 miles of premium trout water split between the New Fork River and Willow Creek. The river originates from New Fork Lakes in the Wind River Mountains and flows south into this scenic, easily accessible property. Parking is ample, and most of the riverbanks and creek edges are approachable by foot. While a few sections are lined with willows, casting and wading remain manageable for most anglers.

A 4WD vehicle is recommended to access the property, especially during wet conditions. With both a larger river and a smaller creek available, anglers can adjust their tactics based on weather, water clarity, and fishing pressure. Local anglers often favor Willow Creek when nearby rivers are blown out due to thunderstorms, as it tends to remain fishable even in tough weather conditions. This flexibility, combined with beautiful scenery and solitude, makes this a go-to destination for a full day or weekend of Wyoming trout fishing.

Game and habitat information

This property provides access to two distinct fisheries: the peaceful, intimate New Fork River and the lesser-known but highly productive Willow Creek. The New Fork is a classic wild trout river, home to strong populations of Brown and Rainbow Trout, many in the 14"–24" range. The river features deep pools, undercut banks, and slower meanders that offer ideal habitat for large browns especially during early mornings and low-light conditions.

The New Fork, sourced from a high mountain lake, holds steady flows and clarity longer than many area rivers during runoff and heavy weather. However, when flows are low and clear, trout can be spooky making lighter tippet and smaller flies a smart choice.

Willow Creek is an underrated gem. With easy wading, multiple bends, and deep undercuts, it provides non-stop action for anglers willing to cover water. Because of its smaller size and resilience to summer storms, it’s a great fallback option if other rivers in the area are blown out.

Together, these two waters create a dynamic fishing experience for anglers of all skill levels. Whether nymphing, drifting dries, or swinging small streamers, both Willow Creek and the New Fork offer consistent opportunity in one of Wyoming’s most scenic valleys.

3 out of 5 stars

The Ranch owner was great we got to personally meet them. The fishing was really good day 1 but i would say it’s only good for one day. The other thing was when we originally booked it said 4 miles of water, then later it changed to 2 miles. This piece of water also allows for 4 fisherman. I live in Pinedale and I can tell you if there was four people on the water it would have been unusable for everyone. Last thing that I would say is that the water has potential of never being rested, so you never know if it’s been fished by four people the entire week before you and that small of water could never handle that pressure. Rare Waters should have some rules in place for fish management or their waters will be trashed in a small amount of time.

Great property. Would need more than one day to explore both waters. I only fished part of the New Fork. Weather was cold with some snow and rain so water clarity was a bit off, but still found fish on both nymph and dries. I was surprised at the size and quality of the fish. Landed a couple 15"+ browns. Met the ranch manager and another employee who were very helpful with tactics. I can only imagine this fishes better as weather conditions improve.
