This map and information have been provided to assist you in navigating around the ranch and various spring creeks. We take pride in giving you the rare experience of exclusive use of your section of the ranch and we sincerely hope that it is one of the most unique fishing experiences you will have.

The spring creeks are made up of separate fishing areas:

  • Big Meadow - This spring creek (colored red) meanders through a big open meadow and includes Kansas Lake.

  • Fox Island - This area (colored green) also meanders through a meadow, but part of it is bordered on one side by willows and trees. Fox Island also includes Kansas Lake.

(Big Meadow and Fox Island are exclusive use to the anglers who have reserved them. Picnic area, wall tent and a toilet are available for all anglers to share at Kansas Lake.)

Please adhere to these simple rules:

  • Fly Fishing, Catch and Release (barbless hooks).

  • Use only nets made of soft mesh or rubber.

  • Drive on gravel roads.

  • Please take your trash with you.

  • We encourage the use of non-felted wading boots to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive plants and animals.

  • No dogs.

Open Dates:  April 1st thru September 30th. In April and May there may be cattle on some of the
                     meadows.

Gallery:  We love to get your photos with our fish. If you will send photos to us, we will add them
               to our
Photo Gallery on this web site.

Fish: You can expect to catch rainbow, brown and brook trout.

Playing and Releasing Fish: Land fish as quickly and gently as possible to help keep the
         mortality rate low. If you are taking photos of your fish, please don't keep them out of the
         water more than 15 seconds. Please take extra care in handling the fish. Returning fish to
         the water quickly will assist in their recovery.
