The North Fork Meadows has a great variety of water that accommodates anglers of all skill levels.

It’s a great combination of fast riffles, pocket water, long runs and deep holes and is broken down into two different sections, the lower and upper North Fork Meadows.
The lower section of the North Fork Meadows is wide open and is perfect for longer casting and mending.  There are plenty of spots that go untouched and the savvy angler can pick fish out of all of them.  It’s fast riffles, overhanging brush and challenging wading will test any angler’s skills.

There are fish in all the obvious places and a good first cast is usually the most rewarded. Most of the fishing on the lower North Fork Meadows is best done with nymphs however streamers can entice an agressive strike. The fish hold in fast water and a lot of weight is needed to get down to the fish. In a few of the bigger runs a twitchy streamer will usually produce a fish or two. 
The North Fork Meadows is perfect for anglers of all abilities. There are fast riffles, long runs, pocket water and deep holes that produce some of the largest fish on the North Fork of the South Platte River. Becasue the river here is private, the fish see much less pressure than public water. This section of the South Platte River tends to fish well no matter what the flows are and is perfect for any guided fly fishing trip. Short line or long line nymphing is the norm but a good caster that likes throwing big flies will fall in love with the streamer fishing.
