Water typically flows at manageable rates creating an inviting fishing location to spend the cool spring and fall days.  The Dolores river flows through a variety of different landscapes, from high mountains to desert.

This locale is right in between, with lush pastures, pine forest and beautiful red sandstone cliffs. It feels remote, but in only 20 minutes you can be in the quaint town of Dolores to grab a beer and lunch at one of the local establishments. A quick trip back and you’ll be ready to hit the evening hatch. Hatches in the area include midges, BWO, stoneflies, caddis, PMDs, and last but not least…Salmonflies.

In addition to being a great fishing destination, the Redburn Flying R Ranch is a working cattle ranch, producing beef served at many local restaurants. The ranch has been in the Redburn family for three generations and is still being operated by the grandson of the original owner. Two generations currently live on the property and they are happy to welcome anglers to their private paradise.
