Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch

 
 
 
Big Thompson River

Sylvan Dale is a major fly-fishing destination for anglers from around the country. Anglers who are Bunk & Breakfast guests may obtain a ranch permit to fish specified waters for an additional daily access fee.

The River and Trophy Trout lakes are available to qualified anglers for fly-fishing catch-and-release only.

Catch and Keep bait fishing and spin casting are allowed only in the main ranch ponds by special arrangement through the office. You pay for each fish you catch, and no throw-backs are allowed. You clean and package your own fish for take-home, or if you don’t want to keep them, you may take them to the Ranch kitchen. (For groups of 10 or more, we will provide a fishing attendant for an additional fee)

When fishing, Children 12 and under must be accompanied at all times by an adult.
