Who would have guessed that tucked away in a remote corner of Northeast Utah lies a fly fishing and lodging recreation resort where the beauty of nature entices us with her pleasures. The L.C. Ranch is home to over a dozen spring creek ponds and lakes amidst red rock and juniper on the south slope of the Uintah Mountains. The ponds and lakes offer a variety of exciting fishing conditions throughout the season.
The Fishwest Guides can teach you how to properly fish these lakes and ponds. Many of the techniques you will learn here can be applied to any stillwater fishery. The controlled habitat is superb for providing a quality fly fishing experience. Under a strict policy of catch and release it is well managed, quiet and un-pressured; perfect for the growth of large trout. With an average length of 17 inches and the big fella's being around 26 inches (or bigger), the L.C. Ranch is a fly fisher's dream world!
There are also some wading opportunities here. Some of the smaller ponds offer a more intimate experience while you cast your fly to LARGE cruising Brown & Rainbow Trout. If the fishing is slow on one pond, we can easily jump to another pond for some faster action. That is just one of the advantages of fishing the L.C. Ranch!
The Ranch ensures solitude for up to 8 rods a day and single groups of up to 12. All anglers are accompanied by quality Fishwest Guides who will always work their hardest to provide an experience of a lifetime.
The lodging accommodations at the "L.C." are almost as spectacular as the fishing (I said almost!). Enjoy a great night of rest in one of the several luxurious cabins that are spread throughout the ranch. With names like the Honeymoon Cabin, the Trophy Lodge, the West Cabin, and the Hideaway Cabin, you know that each one is unique. Some have Jacuzzi tubs and Satellite TV systems and others offer an escape from modern technology to some peace & quiet.
Something to consider is that Fishwest fishes the LC Ranch from drift boats and you will have one guide for every two people in your group. Fishing from a drift boat has many advantages like a sturdier, higher casting platform and your guide is with you at all times to help with casting, knots and fly selection.
