“Hoppertunity Knocks on Colorado’s Abell Ranch with Clint Packo”, on the Destination Angler Podcast.

At 1,500 acres with over three miles of the South Platte running through it, Abell Ranch is one of Colorado’s most revered private fisheries—and the latest stop on a podcast we highly recommend, the Destination Angler Podcast with Steve Haigh.

This episode features Confluence Land Company Managing Partner, Clint Packo, a fifth-generation Coloradan, and former guide who now operates Abell Ranch and advises on some of the most iconic ranches in the West. Clint walks listeners through what makes Abell so special—from its crystal-clear trout water and textbook hopper fishing to the solitude that is getting harder and harder to find this close to Colorado’s Front Range.

Along the way, the conversation dives into the kinds of questions that matter to landowners, land buyers, and trout anglers alike: How do you design a trout stream? What factors are driving today’s ranch market?

If you’re a landowner, future ranch buyer, or avid angler, this show is well worth your time. Confluence Land Company is honored to play a role in the continued conservation and management of this one-of-a-kind river ranch.
