Jefferson - Private Fly Waters and Blue Ribbon Trout Streams
Jefferson is the hub of many excellent Blue Ribbon trout streams radiating in all directions. Flying Horse Ranch is located in Jefferson, in fact Jefferson Creek flows right across our 3600 acre spread. We also have two excellent still water lakes stocked with large aggressive, cutthroat, rainbow and brown trout.
The North Plate and Tarryal Rivers although not on the property are only minutes away and offer limited and unlimited stretches of excellent fly fishing, dry fly, wet fly and nymph.
The Ranch
We have three levels of accommodation, from deluxe wall tents to the full luxury of a five star fly fishing lodge.
Wilderness Tent Camp:
Like a drop camp you are responsible for your own cooking. A deluxe wall tent on a raised platform provides you your shelter. Each tent is equipped with a wood burning stove, propane cook top and BBQ. Located right on the shores of Baker Lake you can watch the trout raising from your cot. From here you can either fly fish on the lake or drive a short distance to the Jefferson, Platte or Tarryal Rivers.
Wilderness campers bring their own food and sleeping bags for $150.00 per night per tent. Each tent sleeps up to 4 anglers also excellent for a family adventure, no permits or licenses required to fish Baker Lake, it's free but catch and release only.
Log Cabin Accommodations:
We have two deluxe log cabins on the ranch that include full kitchens including dish washers and showers. Each cabin can accommodate
up to four anglers or family members. These cabins are again located on a stocked trout lake and a short cast from your door. From here you can either fly fish on the lake or drive a short distance to the Jefferson, Platte or Tarryal Rivers.
Cook your own food, clean bedding and towels are provided $250.00 per night per cabin. No permits or licenses required to fish either lake, it's free but catch and release only.
