Notes from the landowner

Come enjoy 1.5 miles of the White River less than five miles from Meeker, CO. Nestled in the Flat Tops region is a premier destination for wild trout fishing. Originating at Trappers Lake, the river splits into the North Fork and the South Fork, which later merge at Buford. From there, it becomes a freestone stream, winding through picturesque valleys filled with hayfields and pastures. RareWaters anglers will have access to this hidden gem near Meeker.

Anglers are only able to access the river from the north bank as the opposite bank would be considered trespassing. The river's width ranges from 30' to 60'. This is the downstream section of our two properties on the White River. Livestock can be found on property throughout the winter and as late as June. This property does have a few interior fences on the property but they are easily navigated around.

***No signs are placed on this property at this time, you will need to leverage/download Infinite Outdoors App for the coordinates.

Due to livestock, pets are not allowed on the property.

Game and habitat information

Anglers can target a variety of trout species along this 1.5 miles of access, including Brown Trout, Cutthroats, and Rainbows. Additionally, native White Fish can be found in the deeper holes. As anglers explore the property, they will notice well-preserved riverbanks, thanks to the landowner's efforts to fence out cattle and protect the fishery. The river features long runs, riffles, and deep pools. Anglers should come prepared with a 4wt or 5wt rod, ranging from 8'6" to 9' in length. Using 9' leaders from 3 to 5x will help in targeting the fish. Midges, mayflies, caddis, and stoneflies are the primary hatches throughout the season, with spring and fall being the prime times. For those visiting when the hay is high, adding terrestrials to the fly box is advisable. Up and downstream properties offer gradual banks that allow for easy walk-in access.
