Pond fishing for groups

Fly fishing Catch-and-Release

Our fishing waters include two miles of private access to the Big Thompson River, plus five stocked ponds on the main ranch, trophy trout lakes in the Big Valley, and several bass ponds. Fishing clubs use the Ranch for outings, and business groups often schedule fly fishing lessons or guided fishing excursions for participants. Except as noted below, fly fishing at Sylvan Dale is “Catch-and-release.” Reservations and a ranch permit is required, and a Colorado fishing license is necessary for river fishing. For your group, we can arrange

  • Fly fishing instruction
  • Fly casting classes
  • Guided Fishing trips
  • Individual fly fishing
  • Fly fishing as a team-building experience


Catch-and-Keep Fishing (Groups only)

Limited to the main ranch trout ponds. We supply the poles, a fishing attendant, and bait. We will also clean and package your trout for taking home, or by special arrangement we will include trout in group meals. Arrangements can also be made for fishing derbies and other special events.

Fishing Fees are based on the type of fishing (fly fishing or “catch-and-keep”), the hours reserved, the number of people, and the waters used.

An ideal way to mix business and pleasure!
