YOUR COLORADO FISHING VACATION
At Wilderness Trails we enjoy a fantastic variety of angling options: rivers, lake, ponds, streams, guided, or non-guided.
On The Ranch
We have multiple ponds on the ranch stocked with Rainbow Trout. Fishing rods, lures, and bait are available for your use. Fishing on the ranch does not require a license.
Fly-fishing Guides & Information
Guided fly-fishing (including lessons) can be arranged on the Gold Medal Waters of the San Juan or Animas Rivers with Animas Valley Anglers. Technical stream fishing can be accessed on the ranch or on the National Forest bordering the ranch, a license is required. Each week, we also offer an all day fishing ride up the Pine River in the Weminuche Wilderness Area. You will need your own equipment and license.

Our pontoon boat provides a roomy and relaxing platform to fish nearby Vallecito, or fish from the lake's vast shoreline. Guided fishing on Vallecito is available with local guru, Eric Diamond. Enjoy a gorgeous outing, fishing for record Kokanee Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Small Mouth Bass, German Brown Trout, Northern Pike, and Walleye. A license is required to fish on Vallecito.
