Simply
stated, Kingfisher Bend Ranch is an angler’s paradise. The Ranch
features more than two private, seldom-fished miles of the Bear
River which meanders through the heart of the Ranch.
Guests
can wade fish in the Bear River for native cutthroats, browns rainbows,
and an occasional brook trout. Every year trout over 20 inches are landed (and
released) on the Ranch's stretch of the Bear River. Guests may
also fish from shore or from our rowboat on the Ranch's 1.5 acre
stocked fish pond. Fishing on either the pond or the river is an
excellent opportunity to enjoy nature with family and friends, or to be
alone in solitude (except for the resident mule deer, beavers, owls,
eagles, kingfishers, moose etc.).
