Overview

This ranch is special. The landowner has invested nearly $1,000,000 into restoring the river for prime trout habitat. Just a few minutes away from downtown Salida, anglers can expect to catch 14-18″ wild brown, rainbow and cutbow trout. The property provides anglers with one mile of fishing on a gold medal stretch of the Arkansas River. Accessing the river can be tough in spots but there are easy spots for younger anglers and people with mobility issues. If you’re willing to put in a little extra work, you’ll find some of the best runs and pools the Arkansas River has to offer.

Please allow up to 2 business days for booking confirmations.

    July 2nd, first RareWaters trip for my son and me. Day started slowly, nothing until around noon then the action really picked up, nice Browns and a couple of Rainbows. Only fished on the bank away from the highway. Access was variable, some areas too brushy or steep but lots to work with.

    This place is awesome. Parking was easy and a nice hole right there. Need more time to fish all of it. Will definitely go back. Hit a BWO hatch. Great day.

    Fished the property this past weekend. It was a little cold in the morning, but once the sun broke out it turned out to be an amazing day. Fishing started off really well and had my first fish by my third cast. I caught mostly browns, but did catch a beautiful rainbow. This is my second time fishing this property and can’t wait to come back.
