Exclusive Fly Fishing for Wild Trout on Private Waters

The Crystal Ranch is truly a unique fly fishing experience. The combination of a virtually untouched private stream, 4 species of wild trout that reach into the mid 20-inch range, complete exclusivity, and experienced guides is tough to find anywhere, especially this close to an International Airport (Salt Lake City).

This is Your Trout Stream

Many Rocky Mountain rivers offer good sized trout. However, most of these are not secrets, and most are heavily fished with hundreds if not thousands of anglers per day dragging nymphs behind big bright indicators. However, the trout in the almost 2 miles of Utah’s Yellowstone River at the Crystal Ranch see very few anglers in the whole season. When you book an exclusive fly fishing package at the Crystal Ranch you have a classic trout stream full of willing cutthroat trout, browns, rainbows, and brook trout all to yourself. Many anglers at the Crystal Ranch even catch their Grand Slam by noon on the first day.

Dry Fly Fishing Like You Dream It

Dry fly fishing in most bigger Western rivers can be good if you time it just right. But how many times have you heard “You should have been here last week” and how many times do you need to hear it? The hatches on the Yellowstone River through the Crystal Ranch are not generally dense, in fact, there are just a few annual hatches that you would call amazing. However, there are nearly always some kind of bugs hatching through the prime season and the fish get accustomed to coming to the surface to feed. Attractor patterns and terrestrials are often very effective and when the hatches get thick, the trout pay attention and rise willingly. Of course these are trout and trout eat a lot of nymphs but many times, even the big fish on the Crystal Ranch are caught on dry flies or dry-dropper rigs.
