Escape the hustle and bustle of crowded waters by reserving a private water fly fishing excursion at Hawk's Nest — a revered section of the Big Thompson River. Renowned as one of our premier Colorado private water destinations, the ranch offers unparalleled opportunities for anglers seeking large trout on this short section of river, perfect for a half day venture.
Short But Sweet — Quality Fly Fishing
While Hawk's Nest is only 300 yards long, it supports a vast population of large, unpressured trout and is a favorite among anglers who prefer to book a 4-hour or 6-hour guided trip where you will often be catching many fish with your guide.
Expect to catch fish all day, averaging 12-14 inches, all the way up to 22-inch trout. For those who want to land many large fish and potentially there personal best, this is a great option.
