Experience Colorado stillwater fly fishing from the comfort of a drift boat or raft on Rocking A Ranch. Our guided private water lake float trips at offer a unique opportunity to target rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout while enjoying spectacular mountain scenery and uncrowded water.
Unlike fishing from shore, floating allows your guide to cover more water and access productive areas that are otherwise unreachable. Throughout the day, you’ll fish a variety of proven stillwater techniques tailored to the season and conditions, with your guide providing instruction and all necessary equipment.
Whether you’re an experienced angler looking for trophy trout or trying fly fishing for the first time, our private lake float trips offer a fun, relaxing, and highly productive day on the water in some of Colorado’s premier private fisheries.
