Little Bear River

Our family owns a Black Angus cattle ranch along the Little Bear River, which is a tributary of the Bear River. The Little Bear River meanders through scenic Cache Valley in northern Utah. Two main tributaries make up the Little Bear before entering our Black Angus cattle ranch: the East Fork (a tailwater stream) and the South Fork (a freestone stream).

We offer a quality guided service to help you catch beautiful trout on a quiet stream. No crowds. No busy streets. No dodging boats—just you, your guide and the river. This is the perfect trout stream to help you perfect your angling skills. Expert casting instruction is available before taking to the water as well as on the water. We can also instruct you on reading a trout stream and selecting flies. Or we can just step back and let you fish.
