The BAR Z is a great option for those looking for an exclusive, private fishing experience in one of the prettiest settings in Colorado. Located near Paonia reservoir, BAR Z is a system of small lakes and ponds at the base of the Ragged mountain range on Kathy and Dean Lampton’s beautiful and wild 640-acre property. Some of the largest trout in the lower 48 are caught here every year. Anglers can expect to catch healthy fish in the two to six pound range. Specimens of larger size are not uncommon. Dean Lampton has some of the largest tiger trout in the world on his property. These are full day trips and we typically grill lunch. Reservations require planning and approval.
