BOOK A FULL DAY

This is a great fly fishing ranch to guide clients for their first day with a fly rod. While learning, clients are most likely to hook Trophy Trout in Spring, Eagle, or Elk Lake. Beginner's casting is made easier on the still waters of the lakes rather than the moving water of a river or stream. There is enough basic casting and line management to learn without the added challenge of having to manage their line in moving water.

North Fork Meadows

The North Fork Meadows has a great variety of water that accommodates anglers of all skill levels. It’s a great combination of fast riffles, pocket water, long runs and deep holes and is broken down into three different sections, the lower, middle and upper North Fork Meadows.
The lower section of the North Fork Meadows is a bit more technical that requires a skilled fly caster and a steady wader. It’s fast riffles, overhanging brush and challenging wading will test any angler’s skills. There are fish in all the obvious places but a good first cast is usually the most rewarded. Most of the fishing on the lower North Fork Meadows is best done with nymphs. The fish hold in fast water and a lot of weight is needed to get down to the fish. In a few of the bigger runs a twitchy streamer will usually produce a fish or two. The lower North Fork Meadows is best fished at lower flows and is usually a special treat during falls lower flows.

The middle section of the North Fork Meadows is the easiest section to fish and it has the most variety of water. There are fast riffles, long runs, pocket water and deep holes that produce some of the largest fish on the North Fork of the South Platte River. This section fishes well no matter what the flows are and is perfect for any angler. Short line or long line nymphing is the norm but a good caster that likes throwing big flies will fall in love with the streamer fishing. Every run, pocket and deep pool holds huge trout that will crush a well presented streamer. The North Fork Meadows offers some of the best streamer fishing in Colorado, hands down. Come try it out and fish with a Colorado fly fishing guide on private water.
The upper North Fork Meadows is the perfect way to end a great day of private water Fly Fishing in Colorado. The dry fly fishing in the afternoon can be absolutely incredible with lots of bug hatches. In the summer and fall we get good numbers of green drakes and red quills that come off in the afternoon. These hatches produce some of the best dry fly fishing in Colorado. The North Fork of the South Platte River splits into two sections on the upper Meadows and the smaller channel is perfect for sight fishing.
The North Fork Meadows is one of Colorado’s best fly fishing ranches and only Colorado Guided Fly Fishing Trips are allowed. The river is located just one hour and 15 minutes from Colorado Springs and is perfect for fly fishing trips in Colorado or fly fishing close to the Front Range.

The Meadows fly fishing property fishes well year-round offering anglers the ability to have great fishing even through the winter months. The North Fork of the South Platte gets most of its water from Lake Dillon through Robert’s Tunnel. Because of the tunnel, the water temperature doesn’t fluctuate too much throughout the year which creates a stable environment.
