Ranch History

In the mid-1900s, Chuck Sanger and his new bride Millie took residence at the French Creek Ranch, where they eventually opened a successful hunting and fishing lodge known to welcome guests from all over the world—from Wall Street “tycoons” to His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet.

  • You will enjoy the height of all-inclusive ultra-luxury as it is a part of the famous Ultra Ranch, Brush Creek Ranch
  • It's an angler's dream come true! The North Platte River watershed is revered as one of the most iconic fly fishing destinations in North America, as well as the world. Flowing through expansive canyons and sloping valleys, its tributaries, including Brush Creek, French Creek and the Encampment River, offer over 20 miles of pristine, exclusive private water access by way of rafts, drift boats, or wading.
  • Fishing here is always good. With such a variety of fisheries and drastic changes in elevation, you can always find a productive spot somewhere at any given time of the year, if you know where to look. That being said, there are several windows of time throughout the season that can be particularly good on the water.
  • It's the 'home' of trout fishing, with Rainbow and Brown being the most common. Occasionally you'll get lucky and hook Brook or Cutthroat. If you're lucky, you could bring home a 'trophy trout' of over two feet long!

Lows

  • If you're looking to fish for a variety of species, be aware that French Creek only fish for Trout.

Visitor Reviews

Dont just take our word for it, see what visitors like you say...

Experience of a Lifetime!

The amenities and service at French Creek Sportsmen's Club are simply top shelf. Right down the line to: Drew and Patrick in the kitchen cooking amazing personalized, gourmet meals; Kimber and her morning cheer and awesome coffee; Guide Mike's abundant knowledge, encouragement, and personalized service on the water ("good drift", "rod up!", "set!!", "good try..."); Ron and Miles on the clay course and gun range; Spencer's touch on the bar and all the little things to keep it special. Somehow, Director of Operations, Mr. Grant Ingram, has assembled the most professional and personable team you'll find at any resort, anywhere. I cannot say enough about this staff and how they really want to personally connect with every visitor and yet allow visitors the freedom creating their own unique experience.
