At North Fork Ranch Guide Service, we bring you closer to the best fly fishing in Colorado — from quiet public stretches to exclusive private waters you won’t find anywhere else. Our expert guides are here to help you improve your skills, explore new techniques, and land unforgettable fish along the way.
Whether you’re fishing solo, planning a weekend with friends, or putting together a group retreat, we’ll make sure your day on the water is one to remember.
Public water sees a lot of traffic — and so do the fish. After enough encounters with flies and lines, even wild trout get smart. They become picky, cautious, and harder to fool.
Private waters are different. With limited pressure and fewer anglers, the fish are more willing to eat and less likely to spook. That means more takes, better fights, and a higher chance of success — even if your cast isn’t perfect. It’s one of the biggest advantages we offer on our guided trips: water that fishes better, right from the start.
