Fly-fishing lodge on Colorado's North Fork of the South Platte River near Bailey, about 45 minutes from Denver. Offers year-round wade and fly-fishing for rainbow, brown, brook, and tiger trout, plus a private catch-and-release pond for guests. Opened in 2021 with 12 rooms and a thermal retreat.

At a Glance
Two Bridges Lodge sits on the North Fork of the South Platte River in the foothills west of Denver, offering convenient access to productive trout water without the remoteness of high-country lodges. The property opened in 2021 and accommodates up to 47 guests across 12 rooms, with a mix of suite and hostel-style lodging. The main fishery is the North Fork itself, a year-round fly and wade fishery for resident rainbow, brown, brook, and tiger trout, with peak action from April through October when hatches and flows favor dry-fly and nymph presentations. Guests also have access to a private catch-and-release pond ideal for families or beginners. Amenities include a thermal retreat with sauna, steam room, and cold plunge, plus outdoor recreation (bikes, horseshoes, cornhole, river walk), making it a multi-purpose destination rather than a fishing-only lodge.

Species & Seasons
Methods
The North Fork of the South Platte River at Two Bridges Lodge offers a year-round fly fishing experience, though the prime season for its resident trout typically spans from spring through fall. While the lodge operates year-round, the most consistent action for anglers targeting the lodge's trophy trout, including rainbow, brown, and brook trout, is generally from April through October. During these months, the river's flow and insect hatches are most favorable, providing excellent opportunities for dry fly fishing and nymphing. Winter fishing can be challenging due to colder temperatures and potential ice, but it offers a serene, uncrowded experience for dedicated anglers willing to brave the elements, with the trout remaining active beneath the surface.\n\nThe lodge also features a private catch-and-release trout pond, accessible to all lodging guests. This pond provides a more relaxed fishing experience, ideal for families or those new to fly fishing, and is available throughout the lodge's operating season. While specific seasonal peaks for the pond aren't detailed, it serves as a consistent, accessible fishery complementing the main river.
