FLYFISHING

The Two Bridges Lodge property includes 40 acres of beautiful mountain scenery and a half-mile of private trophy flyfishing water on the North Fork of the South Platte River.  

River fishing at Two Bridges Lodge is strictly catch and release, barbless flyfishing only.  We provide the only location on the North Fork of the South Platte River where you can stay in luxury riverside accommodations and flyfish adjacent private water without a guide.  We do not supply flyfishing gear.  You can bring your own or we can provide you with a list of approved guide services for an all-inclusive day on the water.  If you need resupply, there are a couple of fly shops close by who know the river well. 

We are now taking reservations for our 2025 flyfishing season.  Our 2024 guests caught rainbow, tiger, cutbow, brown, and brook trout on our stretch of the river. 

​​​​

Our lodging guests can fish the river for a daily rod fee of $175 per angler.  Fishing slots must be reserved in advance.  If you want to book fishing on the river, we suggest doing so early (concurrent with booking your lodging) rather than waiting until you arrive.  Lodging guests may flyfish the river on their own (no guide required) after confirmation of adequate independent flyfishing experience, a property orientation, execution of a waiver and acceptance of property rules, presentation of a valid Colorado fishing license, and payment of rod fees. Lodging guests have access to the river from sunup to sundown on their reserved day.

​

If you are not staying with us, but are interested in fishing here, we allow a limited number of non-guest anglers to fish with one of our approved guides (on a space-available basis).  The rod fee for non-guest anglers is $225 per day/$175 per half-day (not including guide fees or gratuity), and reservations must be made in advance through the guide.  Non-guest full-day anglers have access to fish from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on their reserved day.  Give us a call if you would like a guide recommendation.

​

Fishing at Two Bridges Lodge is a privilege.  We reserve the right to refuse fishing access to any individual angler for any reason in our sole and absolute discretion.  

TWO BRIDGES LODGE FLYFISHING RULES

​

1) All fishing is catch and release with barbless flies only, maximum 2 per line. 

2) For the benefit of our fish and our guests, we limit the number

of anglers on our water to six per day. 

3) No fishing in the river is allowed without payment of a daily rod fee per angler. 
4) A valid Colorado fishing license is required. 
You can buy a license online or locally at Platte River Outfitters.

5) Execution of our waiver and release is required.  

6) Pre-fishing angler orientation is required.

​Guests who violate property rules will be subject to a $250 fine and potential loss of lodging and property privileges.  Non-guest anglers will be removed from the property, will be banned from future property access, and may be charged with trespass or other offenses as applicable.  No refunds of rod fees or lodging charges will be made after any violation of the rules. 

​

Lodging guests receive complimentary access to our trout pond at the Lodge.  Fishing in the pond is a little more relaxed and is great for family members who want to fish but do not want to dedicate a day to the river.  You can use your fly rod or borrow one of our spinning poles.  Artificial lures or flies with barbless hooks only--and strictly catch and release.  No bait fishing is allowed.  No fishing license is required to fish in the pond.
