Skip the crowds, find your next adventure

"Three of us fished this property on 11/15/22. We knew with the significant changes in temps that fishing would be difficult. The air temps barely hit 40 and the water temp was 38. We were able to land a handful of smaller browns on size 18-22 midge patterns. The challenge with winter fishing this property at these flows-330, is there is not much deep slow holding water. With that said, this property has about a half dozen excellent runs and the views of the Collegiate Peaks are stunning. The river access is very easy, the signage was excellent, and the property was very tidy. As others have reviewed, this would be a great place to fish summer through fall."

“My day on a beautiful stretch of the Boulder on Montana Meadows Ranch was excellent. Plenty of fish, beautiful setting and the bonus… I pretty much had the whole stretch to myself. Adrienne and Rarewaters made the process so easy with plenty of help on directions. He even checked in with the owner about flies and whether bear spray was needed. Cant wait to get back!”

"Excellent small stream fishing in an alpine meadow setting. Bring your 3wt and plan for non-stop hookups with hungry brown trout looking for surface eats. All fish were caught on terrestrials and dry flies (lost count, 50+ fish on net). The occasional rainbow trout kept things interesting, but couldnt find any brook trout for the trifecta. Just when catching 8-14 wild brown trout became routine, *BAM*, a monster of a brown trout nearly pulled the rod out of my hand. Challenge yourself to find this 18 lunker (pictured). Hint: found him in a textbook location."

"My wife and I had an amazing day at this property over Memorial Day weekend. Flows were just over 100cfs and it rained the night before and the day of so the water was slightly off color but we we’re still able to sight fish all but the deepest holes. I’d say these flows are spot on for this stretch. We picked up quite a few fish over 4 hours before the hail and thunderstorms rolled in. Average was maybe 14-16 inches but we did manage two streamer eats that were over 20”. All in all, this is a great property with friendly landowners, easy access and tons of great water."

"Absolutely Amazing!!! We had a fabulous time fishing and camping at this ranch. You couldn’t ask for a better host either. The rivers, creeks, and ponds hold plenty of fish. Do yourself a favor; take the time to camp a day or two if you’re going. We will for sure be back."
