The Kraus Ranch (formerly Homestead Ranch) is a premier property for private fly fishing in Colorado and is exclusive to the Mountain Angler guide service. Located near Fairplay, Colorado, the Homestead Ranch consists of over a mile of the Middle Fork of the South Platte River.  This property has undergone extensive stream improvements that have benefitted the trout habitat and holding water and have increased the trout population greatly. All four trout species are present here, with a good run of migration browns in the late summer. This is an easy wading stream and is an ideal property for anglers of all experience levels.
