We loved the property. It was expansive and beautiful. We saw plenty of deer, a variety of birds, and even a couple of elk on the last morning. The breakfasts and dinners were fantastic! Cornish game hen, fillet mignon, and beef wellington for dinners. Omelettes, blueberry pancakes with blueberry syrup, and french toast for breakfasts. Taking lunch to eat out on the river was peaceful and so enjoyable. The lodge is nice and we loved our windows looking out over the ranch.
And the fishing was probably the best fly fishing I have ever experienced! I was a little concerned that in May we wouldn't catch many, but we caught a lot, and it was awesome! My wife came with us on the river and loved being out there and was happy I caught fish. Eric was our guide, and he was super patient and great. I was like a little kid with him undoing my snags and tangles all the time. He never grew tired of having to tell me the same things repeatedly. One of my favorite things was that on the first day we caught 5 trout species! We caught mostly browns, a rainbow, a cutthroat, a brook, and a tiger trout. That tiger trout was the cherry on top! The other thing we loved was the educational aspect. Eric taught me various techniques. Most of the time we fished with a dry-dropper and were catching them on the dropper. We also fished with just a dry fly and caught some that way. Then Eric taught me how to use a Euro-nymph rig. I had a good hit on that. The other technique Eric showed me was how to fish streamers. I had so many hits, including some really big fish, on the streamers. I finally caught one on a streamer and was so happy! Fishing on the ranch was simply amazing.
