World class service and overall quality are complemented by Class I Blue Ribbon water, a combination that is rare.Seventy miles of blue ribbon fishing on the upper North Platte River prompted Orvis News to report that our habitat remains "one of the fly fishing world's best kept secrets". Fish in the Saratoga Resort & Spa's private ponds (catch and release) located just a short walk away. Guided fishing trips can also be arranged to the Upper North Platte River, the Encampment River and the high mountain lakes and streams in the Snowy Range mountains.
