Fly Fishing
Known to serious anglers as offering the finest dry fly-fishing in North America, Elk Creek Ranch boasts a fishing resource that is beyond compare. Careful stewardship of the land over multi-generations has yielded a superior habitat where rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout and cutthroat trout thrive in abundance. Prolific caddis, mayfly, stonefly and midge hatches ensure that hungry trout are looking up for the take. The late-summer and fall terrestrial fishing is legendary.
In addition to the 2,850 deeded acres of Elk Creek Ranch, the Owners Association has sixty year leases on two additional related ranches - a hunting and fishing lease on the 4,200 acre K/K Ranch, and a fishing lease on the 4,800 acre YZ Ranch. In combination, these ranches offer over twenty miles of diverse fly-fishing habitat on the White River and along Elk Creek. Whether it is the big and spectacular main stem of the White River, the slow-moving “stillwater” of the upper South Fork, or the intimate and technical Elk Creek itself, the magnitude and quality of the fishing resource are unparalleled. The fishing and hunting resource owned and controlled by Elk Creek Ranch is unequalled and the commitment to habitat protection and conscientious stewardship is resolute. |
