Crystal Ranch Lodge & Resort 428 4800 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84123

"We have fished a good portion of the Western US and even abroad and you truly do have a little slice of heaven there in that part of Utah. It was even better being able to have the place to ourselves! You guys have done an amazing job on everything… The attention to detail on the lodge and property is 2nd to none. Kacie is the BEST… that place would be the same without her… I’m sure you guys already know that… her ability to do it all, attitude and overall demeaner were awesome and her meals were nothing short of fantastic. She had explained all the work you and your brother had put into the property which made me appreciate the property and what you guys have accomplished even more. Thank you, Dave. We will definitely be back again, possibly for a fun family trip for a few days."

"We loved the property. It was expansive and beautiful. We saw plenty of deer, a variety of birds, and even a couple of elk on the last morning. The breakfasts and dinners were fantastic! Cornish game hen, fillet mignon, and beef wellington for dinners. Omelettes, blueberry pancakes with blueberry syrup, and french toast for breakfasts. Taking lunch to eat out on the river was peaceful and so enjoyable. The lodge is nice and we loved our windows looking out over the ranch. And the fishing was probably the best fly fishing I have ever experienced! I was a little concerned that in May we wouldn't catch many, but we caught a lot, and it was awesome! My wife came with us on the river and loved being out there and was happy I caught fish. Eric was our guide, and he was super patient and great. I was like a little kid with him undoing my snags and tangles all the time. He never grew tired of having to tell me the same things repeatedly. One of my favorite things was that on the first day we caught 5 trout species! We caught mostly browns, a rainbow, a cutthroat, a brook, and a tiger trout. That tiger trout was the cherry on top! The other thing we loved was the educational aspect. Eric taught me various techniques. Most of the time we fished with a dry-dropper and were catching them on the dropper. We also fished with just a dry fly and caught some that way. Then Eric taught me how to use a Euro-nymph rig. I had a good hit on that. The other technique Eric showed me was how to fish streamers. I had so many hits, including some really big fish, on the streamers. I finally caught one on a streamer and was so happy! Fishing on the ranch was simply amazing."

"My husband and I had a great experience at Crystal Ranch Lodge and Resort. My husband had never been fly fishing before so I was hoping to find a place that would give him a positive experience and “get him hooked!” Lane was our guide and did a fantastic job! He outfitted us with boots, waders, and rods. He took us to various fishing holes, all on the property, and adjusted our flies accordingly. My husband was able to cast and land several fish in the 2 days we fished. This was due to the time that Lane took to teach and explain the technique, then the patience to let him put it into action. The trout were wild, fresh and fun to catch! Kacie, the Chef, put out world class meals for breakfast and dinner, and supplied us with a delicious box lunch everyday to eat. In the evenings, we sat outside under the stars by the fire. We were lucky enough to be there during a meteor shower! INCREDIBLE! We are already talking about when we will have a chance to go back. We are so grateful to everyone at Crystal Ranch that helped to make our fishing trip so memorable!!"

"I've had a couple of opportunities to fish the Crystal Ranch Property. It is one of the most beautiful stretches of river in the state. The work they put into the property and the fishery is becoming more and more evident. The trout are healthy and getting bigger and more plentiful. The Spring Creek section of the ranch is developing into something along the lines of the most famous Montana waters. I'm always excited to travel up their remote canyon where the chances of seeing wildlife such as deer, elk, and moose are superb."

"Our trip at Crystal Ranch Lodge was one of the most memorable trips our family has taken. The setting of the lodge along the Yellowstone River at the foot of the mountains is incredible. The fly fishing was the best we've experienced and we have been to many fishing destinations. The guides were awesome and even got our 5-year old son into some beautiful fish on a fly rod- which totally exceeded our expectations."
