Wade Trips
Wade trips are full or half day excursions on a choice selection of river sections. You'll experience pocket water, fast riffles and long deep runs, with an expert guide helping all the way.
Devil's Thumb Ranch also has exclusive access to a one-mile stretch of private water on the Colorado River outside Granby. Book this well in advance and you may get a chance to fish these prolific waters for an unforgettable day.
Float Trips
Ask about full day or overnight float fishing trips on the Colorado River, just west of Kremmling. Meals and camping equipment are provided for this memorable outing. Our drift boat is equipped with front and back leg holds for secure standing and accurate casting. You'll cover four to six miles of river canyon, mild rapids, abundant wildlife viewing opportunities, and excellent fishing.
If you've never experienced the relaxation and excitement of float fishing in a drift boat, try it with a Devil's Thumb Ranch guide. There's no better way to go.
