Long Meadow Ranch Fly Fishing 2024

THE BEAUTIFUL

LONG MEADOW RANCH

Shawnee Colorado | 8,120 FT

North Fork Of The South Platte River

Long Meadow Ranch, Boxwood’s upstream neighbor, celebrates the true nature of the South Platte. Among the gorgeous 2 miles of supremely restored stream environment, anglers will find diversified structure, ideal habitat, and stunning trout life.

This property offers anglers the opportunity to fly fish various types of water from deep pools to perfect pockets, and from fast riffles to overhanging willows. Trout here are eager to take large dries, nymph rigs, and streamer patterns. Some of the largest fish that populate the North Fork of the South Platte swim within the sweet waters of Long Meadow Ranch.

SURROUNDED BY MAJESTIC MOUNTAIN VIEWS AND THE ROLLING RHYTHM OF THE NORTH FORK, GUESTS ARE TREATED TO A PICNIC-STYLE GRILLED LUNCH, SERVED IN THE STREAMSIDE SHELTER.
