Trout Flyfishing on the Dolores River and San Miguel River of SW Colorado

Native Colorado cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, brown trout and brook trout abound in our local waters
At Circle K Ranch we specialize in high country native trout fishing on remote and secluded mountain streams. Our most popular trips combine horseback riding and fly fishing, enabling you to reach trout fishing waters with significantly lower pressure from other anglers. If your desire is to fish virgin waters that rarely see other fishermen, our overnight horseback trips are the perfect fly fishing pack trip choice for you. We also offer more traditional, wade only fly fishing trips, on the upper and lower sections of the Dolores River as well as the San Miguel River (Telluride area). Full day and half day trips are available.

Trout Magazine rated the Dolores River in southwest Colorado as one of the best 100 trout streams in America. The upper waters of the Dolores River provide ample opportunity for catching rainbows, brook trout and the colorful Colorado Cutthroat trout. The lower waters of the Dolores River offer excellent tail water fishing for large brown trout, rainbow trout and cutthroats. Circle K Guest Ranch offers a variety of different fly fishing trip packages designed for both the novice and experienced angler.

"Everyone on the trip caught fish and were very happy with the riding experience and good, fun guides. I think all of us will recommend this outing to friends as well as guests of the Franz Klammer Lodge."
---Tom W., Franz Klammer Lodge, Telluride, Colorado
