North Fork Ranch Guide Service

Guided fly fishing trips on the North Fork River anchor the operations of North Fork Ranch Guide Service in Shawnee, Colorado. The service operates out of the North Fork Guest Ranch, an Orvis-endorsed Lodge of the Year that provides both lodging and access to exceptional private and public waters. Guides including Tim, Ryan, Shannah, Christian, Rob, and the late founder Kevin John Gregory lead anglers through seasonal conditions, from mid-day summer adventures to cold-weather winter sessions. The property is managed specifically for fly fishing, offering opportunities to spot wildlife such as ospreys and ensuring clients are positioned effectively to catch fish. The lodge, run by Hayley and Nick, features rooms and meals that complement the outdoor experience. Kevin John Gregory, an expert fly fisherman and instructor, established the business with a focus on teaching and stewardship of the river. Today, the guides maintain his legacy by providing high-level professionalism and helping anglers of all skill levels, including those new to cold-weather fishing, create memorable experiences on the water.
