Bar Star Ranch - Como, Colorado

This is my new favorite fishing lake in Colorado!! I had a phenomenal day in August, 2024 fishing Bar Star Lake. Eric, the owner, is justifiably proud of the fishing he has created. I caught at least a dozen huge rainbows, none less than 5 pounds!
Be warned -- You will be spoiled and won't want to fish anywhere else!! Thank you, Eric!

Haha! You guys don't care about your animals. I was just going to leave it at one star but since you have to know why I didnt praise you.... that's why. They roam for months in residential zoned areas which IS against the law. For everyone out there, don't give these people your money so they can buy more cows to leave for dead. As for JT your ranch hand, he says they don't belong to you guys. Let me put this on blast then! I would like to see you deny this photograph. I take pictures no matter where I see them if they are where they aren't supposed to be.

Sometimes it's better to leave a 'one star' alone instead of needing more info. You asked and now the whole world can see.

James and Vanessa of the Bar Star Ranch were gracious enough to allow the AADE (American Assoc. of Drilling Engineers) to host our 3 Gun shooting event on the ranch in mid-May of this year. Lots of beautiful scenery and incredible views of snow capped peaks all around us. Saw antelope and deer while we were there and listened to the coyotes yodel at night. Definitely brought to mind the song "Home on the Range" (where the deer and the antelope play). All of the participants in our event went on and on about the beauty of the area and what tremendous hosts we had. We are definitely planning to go back next year.

I would highly recommend this outfit to anyone considering an event in the Denver area.
Easily accessible from Denver, good roads to the ranch and on the ranch and genuinely good people to work with.
5 Stars in my book and I think I can safely say, rated 5 stars by all of our participants.
Check out the Bar Star Ranch. I don't think you could go wrong with them.

Bar Star Ranch is an incredible place to hunt elk and deer. Bar star is a great place to enjoy and explore the outdoors had some great encounter with some bull elk and some big mule deer bucks. Thank you James and everyone else involved for this great experience. Even coming out unsuccessful on our hunt we had an experience we will never forget. What a beautiful place.

Bar Star is such an amazing ranch to fish! As a leader in Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, I had a total of 18 disabled Veterans and mentors and everyone caught double digit numbers of large Rainbow Trout! Definitely would recommend this Ranch to anyone who likes to catch large, strong fighting fish!

After turning 12, 2019 was my son Kaden's first season to be able to hunt big game in Colorado. As a father who loves the outdoors and hunting, you hope your son feels the same way so you'll have a partner for life. He's been going with me since he was 5 and seems to enjoy it so far.

He was determined to get an elk this first year. We tried archery, where we came close a few times. New to rifle hunting elk, I was pretty clueless how to get him in front of an elk once they stopped bugling. We went several times with zero sightings. It was a struggle. I was getting worried Kaden would get discourage with elk hunting. Then I found Bar Star ranch. My email was responded to quickly. James shot me a pic of a herd near their property and said if we saw them on Bar Star we had the green light. Now, we had never met James or anyone at Bar Star but they were all in to help a youth hunter. The very next day we went with our plan A, which failed again. So we went toward Bar Star. Long story made short, Kaden was successful within just a few hours, making a great shot on a cow elk. I let James know we had one down and amazingly, within an hour Shad was there with a tractor to get the cow out for us. Kaden is now an elk hunter for life and I couldn't be more excited. Thank you Bar Star, James and Shad for what you did for Kaden (and for a dad)!

But today for me was more than about the event (by the way cant wait for next year) but the kindness, friendliness, felt welcome the entire time, fun, fellowship, very well planned event, great food....just shows me there are still great people in this world...not to mention to share one common passion. I felt very blessed today and thank you again.
