Excellent day! Property Manager and fly shop in Carbondale were super helpful.
It was a Creek day! I lost count, big healthy bows / cutbows eating hoppers. Started with a dry / dropper rig and ultimately just stayed with a hopper to hug the banks. Tan / Purple and Pink were the go to colors.
Was on the Fork for less than an hour, more to cool off. The Creek sight fishing was too much fun.
Fished this with a group of anglers during the weekend of 9/17/22. Beautiful stretch of water, genuinely picturesque and very well kept. Though we heard/read that the water was much lower in comparison than previous years, our group had a great luck finding and catching multiple fish (mostly nymphing with small/dark flies). Very private too - in two days on the river, I think I only saw one other person on the river that wasn't part of our group. I would gladly fish this again!
Owner was very accommodating and helpful. Stream was smaller than I expected from the listing. Fish were small but actively feeding. Beautiful site. Access was easy. It would have been helpful to know that the back section of the ranch was unavailable after September 1 prior to booking
Beautiful property. Many good pools and riffles for catching fish. Dry dropper worked well. Great opportunity to fish the lower Boulder. Will book again when I'm back in Montana!
Wow. What a stretch of water. Didn’t see another angler outside of our party on the private stretch….. almost 7 miles. Water was a bit low, but once we figured out the game (fish deep holes with a zebra midge) the fishing lit up. Great camping experience and lodge too. 10/10. Know that the lower section shares a bank with BLM land, so gets more pressure. Head upstream for the most remote fishing.

Really enjoyable property.
