Where We Fish & Hunt

Based in Colorado Springs, we run trips across the Front Range — from blue-ribbon tailwaters to backcountry hunt units in the Rampart Range and Pike National Forest.

Our Water & Country

Where We Fish & Hunt

Blue-ribbon tailwaters, Gold Medal float water, wild high-country creeks, and backcountry hunt units — all within reach of Colorado Springs.

Home Tailwater

South Platte River

Our home tailwater. Cheesman Canyon, Deckers, the Dream Stream, and Eleven Mile Canyon — technical, year-round trout water and the backbone of our wade trips.

Gold Medal Float

Arkansas River

Gold Medal water and our drift-boat home. Big browns, miles of float water through the canyon, and the best dry-fly fishing in the state when the caddis come off.

Cañon City · Salida · Buena Vista stretch

Trophy Tailwater

Eleven Mile & Spinney

High-country reservoir tailwaters and the famous Dream Stream between them — trophy trout migrating water in spring and fall.

Wild & Uncrowded

Water & Country Questions

Common questions about where we go

How far do trips travel from Colorado Springs?
Most of our water is within an hour or so of Colorado Springs — the South Platte system, Pike National Forest creeks, and the Rampart Range. Arkansas River floats and some backcountry hunts range a bit farther. We'll tell you the meeting point and drive time when you book.
Which river fishes best, and when?
It changes with the season and flows — that's exactly what we track. Winter favors the canyons (Cheesman, Eleven Mile); spring and fall light up the Dream Stream; summer is prime for the Arkansas and high creeks. Ask our booking assistant what's fishing best the week you want to come.
Where are your hunt units?
Our primary big-game country is the Rampart Range and surrounding Front Range units, which we scout year-round, plus select backcountry units depending on the season and your tag. We'll recommend specific units based on the draw, your weapon, and your experience.
Can you run a multi-day fish-and-hunt or custom trip?
Absolutely. We build custom multi-day itineraries — a float and a wade day, or a fall hunt with a day of fishing built in. Tell us what you're after and we'll put together the trip.
