ROCKY MOUNTAIN “PRIVATE WATERS” DEFINED
These “private waters” fisheries have several things in common:
THREE FORKS RANCH
The most upscale of them all, Three Forks Ranch, located in Northern Colorado near Steamboat Springs, is a relatively new private waters fishery. This is a 200,000 acre working cattle ranch straddling the Wyoming/Colorado border. There is sixteen miles of private stream fishing in addition to several ponds and lakes teeming with rainbow, brown, brook, and native Colorado River Cutthroat Trout. First class accommodations, five-star dining and many other complimentary activities will round out your outdoor adventure to this pristine property.
Discriminating fly fishing traveler, Bob Friend, commented after his first stay, “I’ve never caught so many twenty-plus inch fish;” and regarding the overall operation - “on a scale of 1 to 10, this place rates at 11!”
PECOS RIVER RANCH
At the southern tip of the Rocky Mountains, a few hours north of Albuquerque, is the Pecos River Ranch owned by Val Kilmer. The Pecos River Ranch has a distinctly Southwest ambiance that makes it unique. This 6500 acre property, with 5 miles of the Pecos River on the ranch, certainly has the potential to take its place among the “best in the West” as a private waters fishery.. Additionally, there are other excellent private water fisheries in the area to round out a three or four day fly fishing package in the Southwest.
