The Ruby River – The Ruby is a terrific, small meadow river, we use several sections of the Lower Ruby.
Alder Spring Creek – This is another very challenging spring creek.
Boulder River – This small meadow stream is a tributary of the Jefferson River and because it is kept cool by many fresh water springs you will find some fine mid summer dry fly fishing with attractor dries and hoppers.
The Gund Ranch – The ranch has three spring ponds ranging in size from a couple of acres to eleven acres.
Wheat Ranch – For those anglers who enjoy a few hours on a still water fishery this ranch has a small lake with very large rainbow trout.
Morse Land Co. – We discovered some hidden gems on this property only five minutes driving time from Healing Waters Lodge. There are several miles of the Lower Ruby River, a short section of Leonard Slough (spring creek), miles of Mill Creek which is a terrific small meadow stream loaded with nice brown trout and a small pond for the still water folks .
All private water fishing does require a rod fee for each angler. Prices very between $100 and $150 per rod per day.
