When researching ranches, I’m always suspicious of bold claims of “world-class fishing!” – “blue ribbon waters!” – “trophy elk!” More times than not, the truth is being stretched, so I always make sure to verify any fishing or hunting claims with unbiased third parties such as guides, Parks & Wildlife officials, or local residents. I’m sure other experienced outdoorsmen and landowners share some of my skepticism when it comes to these ever-present “fish tales.”
That’s why I was thrilled when Freestone Outfitters, an Orvis-endorsed fly fishing guide service, entered into a lease agreement to fish one of my current listings – Three Creek Ranch. Freestone’s desire to bring paying clients to the property speaks volumes about the caliber of the fishing, and Freestone’s longterm commitment to fishery management ensures that the property will continue to remain an excellent, productive fishery for years to come.
