Fishing for Avid Anglers: Experience Colorado’s Historic 4UR Ranch
Creede, CO— In addition to boasting top-quality horses, a nationally-renowned children’s’ program, majestic vistas, legendary hot springs, superb dining, a fascinating history, and sweater-cool weather well into August, the 4UR Ranch offers anglers an unforgettable fishing experience in the vast wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. Nestled in the stunning valley of south-central Colorado, the centerpiece of the ranch is Goose Creek, with over seven miles of private stream and fishing opportunities that will stun even the most avid fly fishing enthusiasts.

The 4UR Ranch waters are divided into 20 "stations” and guests choose the stations after dinner each night by lottery. Each guest has the opportunity to experience all twenty stations during their visit, giving them a variety of fishing during their vacation. Fifteen fly fishing stations are marked off along Goose Creek as it twists its way through the valley. Four stations are on the famed Rio Grande River and "Beat 20" is in the Weminuche Wilderness. The waters hold a myriad of trout: rainbows, browns, Snake River cutts, cutt-bow hybrids, and even brookies. Anglers can also take a guided fishing trip above timberline to Lost Lakes for rare Rio Grande cutts, or fish Station 21, a trophy pond in the ranch valley. All waters are catch and release fly fishing only, except for Walton Pond, which is ideal for kids.

Southern Colorado's Goose Creek drainage is quite unique. Flowing from the Weminuche Wilderness, it passes through only two pieces of private property, both 4UR and the neighbors, before reaching the Rio Grande. The neighbor's reservoir feeds the creek from its cool waters via an 80-foot dam, making this creek one of only a handful of "private tail waters" in America. Years of astute stream management and rigorous catch and release practices make for some surprisingly big, well-colored trout. 4UR Ranch has all the hot, local fly patterns plus rods, reels, waders, etc. in their ranch store. Guides and group casting lessons are also available.

The 4UR Ranch offers families an all-inclusive vacation spot at a good value complete with plenty of outdoor adventure, a dose of history and culture, and lots of family togetherness. For more information, please visit the website or contact Aaron Christensen at 719-658-2202.
