Fishing the Private Waters of Jemas Ranch

Jemas Ranch has a 12-acre lake on the property, as well as several miles of spring creeks that provide blue ribbon dry fly fishing throughout the nearly 400-acre property. The lakes and creek waters are home to Brown trout, Rainbow trout, Cutthroat trout, Brook trout and Tiger trout.

Every overnight guest has the option of starting or finishing out their fly fishing day fishing the Big Lake. If you prefer a whole day on the lake and you’ve booked a guided fly fishing day, in most cases, we can change it to a lake day. This is great option for novice fisherman or for any angler on those days when the rivers are tough. That’s what makes Jemas Ranch a unique fishing haven.

Day Private Waters Fishing Pass

If you’re interested in only fishing for the day, a limited number of daily passes are available for purchase.

Fishing the Big Lake

Take a guided fishing trip on the big lake and you’re likely to catch that trophy trout! Our lakes are private, with a limited amount of fishing allowed each day. With fewer natural predators and little to no pressure from fisherman, you’ll have a great day on the water.

For fishing the big lake, you’ll have:

A drifter boat or raft
Same guide as your fly fishing trip if you have one the same day
Provided ranch breakfast and cooler lunch
Turnkey experience with life jackets, fishing gear, tackle & bait

Fishing the Creeks

Prairie Creek is a beautiful natural creek that meanders through the property. Jemas Ranch has been working with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to restore this once productive fishery. You can fish both the Upper and the Lower part of the creek. We have a second creek called Grass Creek that should be ready for fishing in 2026.

Vintage Spring Creek Experience

Step back in time into one of our original turn of the century homesteads, a restored building turned log fly stop where plow horses were originally saddled to get ready for plowing. Here, we outfit our equipment and flies for the day and get ready to experience the good ol’ days, fishing smaller technical spring creeks with lightweight 9 ft. 2, 3 and 4 weight vintage reels and rods. Don’t be fooled though, these creeks can hold trout that will challenge the best of anglers on smaller light weight equipment. Available for booking in Spring of 2026.
