“Great property. Hooked into a good number of 16-18in Browns and Rainbows in the riffles. Great property, landowner was friendly and helpful.”

Enjoy 1 mile of the Colorado River with runs that dump into deep pools holding large brown trout. The best fishing is near the confluence where the creek meets the river. This property provides stunning red cliff views that include two pairs of nesting bald eagles. Fish range in the 12-22″ range. The walking access is fairly easy for younger anglers and people with mobility issues. There are some willows near the riverbank but they’re not difficult to navigate.
Although we typically get your booking approved within a few hours, please allow up to 1 business day for booking confirmations.

Check out the resources below to help you prepare for your upcoming trip and ensure you have the most accurate and up-to-date information for a stellar day on the water.
Most of our properties are ranches, so expect to walk through hayfields, cow fields, or even hop a few fences. These are not "groomed" properties. They can be rugged and wild and we believe that is part of the adventure with RareWaters! If you have specific questions or concerns, please reach out in advance of booking a trip!

The day I fished this property the water was high and off-color, there was about 8 to 12″ of visibility. I grabbed my 6 Wt put on a dark streamer and hoped for the best. My initial reservation of the day was put to bed immediately. I casted on a downstream angle and swung the streamer back towards the back with a few twitches and right out of the gates it was on. I caught nothing but browns that ranged from 14-18″. As I continued walking downstream, the fish did start short-striking my big black stream but I had some other streamers in my kit that worked just as well.
Early in the day, I did miss one fish that is absolutely calling me back. I felt the tug, saw a giant swirl, and raised the tip. It was over before it began… I can not wait to go back for the one that got away.

August 14, 2023 at 12:03 pmExcellent! We caught browns and rainbows, the average fish was 14″ to 15″ with the largest being a 17″ rainbow. Most of the action was on darker streamers but we did catch several on dries; hoppers and caddis. The flow was 900 cfs which was just about right. A surprise benefit of fishing the property was meeting one of the owners. The family raises Angus Waygu beef, we purchased several steaks, they were fantastic! The property was easy to fish, plenty of action, beautiful scenery.

April 12, 2023 at 4:24 pmAah, yes, the cows can be quite friendly. We appreciate your feedback. We do our best to check the reports on the fishing but can’t always be spot on. We are glad you were able to find the fish still! Each landowner sets their timeframes for their property. I will see if we can’t get this extended!
