The club

Uncrowded water, by design

Since 1992, the club has secured exclusive access to quality catch-and-release fly fishing through private arrangements with landowners across the Rockies. Gold-medal water, a strict limit on rods, and miles you’ll often have to yourself.

Reservations are first-come, first-served, and our office is staffed twelve hours a day in season with up-to-the-minute hatch, flow, and availability reports.

Notes from the water

A representative selection · Winter 2025/26

Overall fishing has been very good. The major waterways haven't blown out, and with lower flows and clear water the fish are easier to spot — wade lightly, and if the sun is at your back, try not to cast a shadow over the fish.

A-1

Four Mile Creek @ Florissant

It is a tailwater. Bushy flies on top with a black beauty on bottom. Top of the property is best.

A-11 / A-13 / A-15

Sylvan Dale Ranch

The river fishes well with hare's ear, zebra midges, and a tan SJ worm. Mother Lake is good with clousers and red midge larvae; the bass pond wakes up in May.

A-19

Big Thompson River

Olive buggers, RS-2, olive perdigon, rainbow warrior. Flows are watched closely all season.

B-22

Gunnison River

Wait till 400 cfs, then fish the big stones, caddis, and perdigons.

C-50 / C-56

Yampa River

Fishing well with red and black midge larvae, buckskin, and spruce flies. The Hogue ranch is fishing exceptionally well.

C-59

Roaring Fork River, Pond & Spring Creek

Wadeable, tea-stained at worst. Rainbow warriors, olive perdigons, rio grande kings, and thin mints; black and golden stones in the heavy water.
