Root Pond
Root Pond is a private trophy trout lake that Animas Valley Anglers has exclusive access to fish. The fish are big and strong. These "football" shaped rainbow trout are so strong they will rip the rod right out of your hand. We also have nursed a small population of largemouth and smallmouth bass. They are getting bigger and can be a blast on the fly rod.

Fantastic! Clear and full. Tons of bugs and perfect conditions. Muddy rivers have you itching to cast a fly to big trout? Well Root Pond is the place for you.

Streamer and some dry fly fishing has been good. We fish this trophy trout lake out of our drift boats and it is a great way to spend the day. Drop us a line to book a day on Root Pond. We limit fishing activity to maintain this special fishery, so book your spot today.

Guide activity: Will and Chris
