Live Water: The Rendezvous Ranch offers quality and private wade fishing on a quarter mile on the meander of both sides of the New Fork River. The New Fork is well known for its brown trout as well as rainbows, cutthroat and cut-bows. Browns in the 14”-18” range are fairly common with a 20” bruiser showing up from time to time. In addition, a beautiful half-acre pond loaded with native trout sits off the deck of the main house, which is fed directly from the New Fork. During the summer months as the river volume drops, the trout pile into the pond and is an important feature for a healthy trout population. This section of the New Fork lends itself to stream enhancement with additional locations for ponds. Duck Creek flows through the t er northwest corner of the property. Although currently a limited fishery, Duck Creek also lends itself to enhancement. A series of ponds would provide excellent habitat for fish and waterfowl.
