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

This property is “request to book”. See below for more details.
This ranch is renowned for being one of the premier fly fishing properties in the state of Colorado. Only a short drive from Glenwood Springs, Carbondale, Basalt, and Aspen, anglers can access several ponds, 1.5 miles of spring-fed creeks, and nearly 1 mile of the Roaring Fork River. Fly anglers, whether seasoned or new to the sport, will have great opportunities to land quality trout, enjoy breathtaking views and make many memories. Fish range from 14″ to 22″ and can be caught on dry and nymph rigs depending on the time of year.
The landowner has invested countless time and resources into building and constructing ideal trout habitats throughout the watersheds. This has allowed various trout species to flourish, reach trophy size, and provide an excellent angling experience. Proper fish handling, angler etiquette, sportsmanship, and catch-and-release fishing also contribute to the success of the fishery.

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!

October 17, 2023 at 12:28 pmFishing was excellent! Primarily we fished the ponds and spring creeks. Fish were visible & abundant in the ponds. Had some success in the spring creeks. Weather was perfect!

September 26, 2023 at 4:33 pmSpring Creek Ranch is something to behold. It’s stunning. Access is as easy as it gets and the property offers different fishing opportunities from crystal clear spring fed water to fishing the roaring fork. Fish are stocked on the creek but they are monsters.
It’s a great place for a family or a handful of buddies. I met Tanner who runs the ranch and he was great and welcoming.
It’s also just a couple minutes from town. Highly recommend this spot!
