Private Land Fly Fishing Trip
June 2019
The Wapiti Lodge at the Buffalo Creek Ranch.
When looking for a unique and serene mountain fly fishing experience, the state of Colorado is often one of the first thoughts that come to peoples minds. With multiple fly fishing lodges across the state, the choice of picking the best one can be overwhelming. Here at the Buffalo Creek Ranch, we offer an experience unlike any other that you will find in the state. The difference you will see between our ranch and others in the state is one that will make your choice clear and easy. Read on to hear about The Buffalo Creek Difference.
We believe there are four key differences that make Buffalo Creek shine above all others:
1.) We are NOT a dude ranch
Gone are the days of massive dining halls, cookie cutter cabins, and unfamiliar employee faces. Although the Buffalo Creek Ranch includes a spacious 14,000 acres, it is important to us that we do not over use or abuse our precious land and resources. When you stay at the Buffalo Creek ranch, your party will be the only party on the entire ranch. You will not have to conform to a multi group schedule, or awake to ATV’s ripping around outside your bedroom window. Instead you’ll awake to the smell of bacon and a hearty home cooked breakfast, and decide with your small group when you would like to begin your activities for the day.
2.) Exclusive access
When you book a fly fishing trip at the Buffalo Creek Ranch, not only do you gain access to the five private lakes and two stretches of Buffalo Creek located on the ranch, but you also gain access to 7 more private lakes and over 90 miles of private river located around North Park and Walden, Colorado. Private stretches include the North Platte, Michigan, Illinois, Canadian, North Fork, Roaring Fork, Norris Creek, and many other tributary streams. We closely manage and protect these private fisheries to keep them in prime condition and prevent over-fishing, pressure, and harm being done to them. You can have confidence that no matter what time of year you book your stay, you will always have multiple exclusive fishing locations available to you and your group.
3.) Professional and private staff
The staff at Buffalo Creek Ranch are highly trained, experienced, and knowledgeable about the area and the operations. You will see the same friendly faces each day, making your stay feel truly authentic, special, and one-of-a-kind. You genuinely will be welcomed into a family setting, as the staff you will see live up here most, if not all, months of the year. You won’t be thrown around between multiple new guides each day who won’t remember your name once they drop you back off at the lodge.
4.) Comfortable and unique lodge with incredible meals
The Buffalo Creek Lodge (Wapiti Lodge) is a truly unique Colorado experience. With 3 stories and a maximum capacity of eight overnight guests, it is large enough to allow guests ample space to relax and spread out, but small enough to feel like home and give an intimate experience. Within the lodge you will see many mounted big game animals that have been harvest by the employees and/or previous hunting guests. The first floor is where guests tend to spend their evenings, gathered around the outdoor fire pit or in the hot tub, and of course around the kitchen table awaiting a meticulously and deliciously prepped meal by the private chef. The second floor offers an incredible living space with soaring windows, satellite television, a fire place and an informal kitchen/dining area. The third floor offers the final two of the bedrooms, a quiet escape from the gathering spaces on the first two floors.
Staying at the Buffalo Creek Ranch offers an experience and memories that will last a lifetime. We believe the choice is clear when it comes to picking a fly fishing lodge in Colorado. Be our guest at the Buffalo Creek Ranch and let us help you experience the Buffalo Creek Difference.
