Only the best day ever!, June 30, 2014 By: Teek83 from Doylestown, PA, USA “I made a return trip to North Fork Ranch having previously fished it in 2006. All I can say is WOW! The fishing was phenomenal – our guide Matt was a great instructor for my son and put us both on fish early and often. The stream produced the largest trout of my 52 years and the pond produced fun fishing for my whole family. – the stay at the lodge was the best vacation my family (4 children 15-20) has ever taken!

Food, fun activities and genuine hospitality made for great memories!” A CLASS ACT…not to mention A TON OF FUN!!, July 8, 2014 By: DLA2600 from Sedona, AZ “Just returned from five days at NFR. This is WORLD CLASS trout fishing at your doorstep. We had four in our group – everyone from a very experienced fly fisherman, to me…my first day in waders! We all had a terrific time, caught a LOT of big fish and couldn’t have been more pleased with Monroe as our guide. Book it today….you will not be disappointed!” Best fishing trip ever, July 28, 2014 By: DOCFEN from Old Hickory,TN “We just returned from the greatest fishing trip ever. My good friend who had never Fly fished and I had two great days of nymphing at two different locations. Jeff Poole is the best guide I have ever had in 15 years of fishing. Frankie caught an 8 pound 27 inch trout for his 2nd ever Rainbow. I caught 3 fish over 6 pounds and around 24 inches. Cannot say enough about this place.

We had our wives with us and they now want to go back and try their luck at fishing also. Karen and staff were extra kind to them and they enjoyed their stay as much as the men did. Excellent and very unique place.” Visit us socially at these locations... © 2014 NORTH FORK RANCH, P.O.
