Denver Fly Fishing – Trophy Private Water Fishing

Looking for big trout without a big road trip? The best private water fly fishing in Colorado is just 45 minutes from Denver at Two Bridges Lodge in Bailey, CO. This exclusive property on the North Fork of the South Platte offers heavily stocked water, luxurious lodging, and a legitimate shot at trout over 24 inches.


Why Choose Private Water?

  • Low Pressure: Fewer anglers = more opportunities.
  • Big Fish: Heavily managed and stocked.
  • Beautiful Setting: Manicured riverbanks, riffles, pools, and prime fish habitat.

What to Expect

Most fishing is done with nymph rigs using small midges, baetis, and worms. Streamers (like Dungeons or Mini Sex Dungeons) also work for aggressive browns. You’ll primarily target rainbows, with chances for browns, brookies, and tiger trout.


Make It a Getaway


Extend your stay by booking a night or two at the lodge. Ideal for multi-day trophy hunts or relaxing with friends and family.

Book your private water fly fishing adventure near Denver today and experience Colorado trout fishing at its absolute finest.
