Big Name Publication!

We have been published in an Orvis Book listed as one of the top fishing lodges in the state of Colorado!! We are so excited to have been selected! This is the cover of the book and we also had a two page spread seen here as well. They did a really nice job of "capturing" what North Fork is all about. You'll have to buy a copy or check ours out when you come to visit this summer! :)

How Cool is That?!

Well...after receiving a foot of snow, we finally saw the sun today. It was wonderful! :) And we were welcomed with a surprise guest at the ranch.....A bear!!! Now we did not see the bear, but we were able to see his fresh tracks in the snow and his uncleanliness down at the trash dumpsters. He does not have very good manners and did not clean up after himself very well. :) Enjoy these cool pictures of the paw prints in the snow.

Here We Go!!

There's nothing like spring in Colorado. Warm weather one week and snow the next. As you can see, we are enjoying the snow this week. Five to six inches and it's now snowing AGAIN. :) But that hasn't stopped us from staying busy. We've been on the run since mid April with lots of corporate and meeting groups and fisherman. As you can see, Karen has been in the kitchen keeping everyone's tummies full of the delicious North Fork food.

And....the first trailer full of horses are on their way to the ranch today! So our 25th Season is fast approaching. Let the countdown begin! (16 days till the official start of "dude season")

Can't Miss Us Now!

Check out our grand new entrance to the ranch!! Dean's vision was turned into reality and now no one will miss us as they drive by. It gives the entrance a completely different look and we are very proud of the new display. As you can see, we also now have an Orvis Endorsed logo attached for all of you fisherman. Let us know what you think. :)

Whoa!!!! Another One!

Yesterday was another exciting day on the river as some guests caught one of the biggest trout we've ever had here at the ranch. It measured 28" long!!! Incredible!!! Please be sure to share our "prized trout" pictures with all your friends! :)

The "Big Boys" Are Back!!!

Our first fisherman of the new year joined us last week and the fishing was INCREDIBLE!!! Everyone was so excited & in awe of not only how many fish they were catching but how BIG they all were!! We are glad they kept their bellies full through the winter and are so active this spring.

The river is clear, flowing, and healthy....therefore our fish are very happy. :)

Enjoy these two photos of one of our "monster size trout" caught by one of our devoted fisherman, Howard from last week.

Howard was very kind to not only share his great pictures, but had some very kinds words to say as well. "Thanks for a stupendous day on the river on Sunday. The fishing was great, the food outstanding, the weather beautiful, the company divine. In my 6 years of fishing NFR, this without a doubt was a day where I caught more BIG fish than in any time past. I figured I caught (and gently released) over 150 lbs. of trout today!!!"

Come and "wet a line" with us this spring!!!

Who Is That Guy?

We've been having some great moisture (lots of snow) the last few weeks, so everything is very damp. So Dean decided it would be a perfect day to burn our many wood/brush piles around the ranch. First up was the "big fire" up by the poop pile. Flames got so high, we could see the tip of the flames over the tops of the trees WHILE sitting at the desk in the office!!!! It was HUGE!!! But safe of course. :)

Pictures are of the smaller brush piles along the river where Dean has been doing alot of clearing over the winter. As you can see from Dean's outfit, it was a bit chilly, so head gear was needed. We still love ya Dean! :) Our friend John, is the photographer this time with his I-Phone.
