You have just found one of the best Colorado fly fishing  resorts and cold water fisheries in the state, right here near Almont!  Our mile of Taylor River and tributaries has been said to be "twice the fishing at half the price" of the Frying Pan near Aspen for trout fishing.  Colorado trout fishing ; the grand slam every day!  No crowds and no guides required.  Our fee to fish per person is $75/day or FREE if you are a guest of Harmel's.  Come to enjoy our beautiful scenery and the wily trout; stay to enjoy our comfortable accommodations, great food and friendly staff!

Harmel's Ranch Resort trophy fishery is known as "Rainbow Heaven".  Fed by high mountain lakes, (Taylor and Spring Creek Reservoirs), Harmel's Gold Medal waters are at the confluence of Spring Creek, Beaver Creek, and the famous Taylor River.  Just downstream from Harmel's Ranch Resort the Taylor meets the East River to form the Gunnison River and Blue Mesa Reservoir, the largest lake in Colorado.  Let Harmel's Colorado fly fishing guides teach you the ins and outs of trout fishing.  Our Colorado trout fishing guides are courteous and knowledgeable, ready to help you with all of your fly fishing needs and desires.
