The Fly Ranch was first homesteaded in the late 1800s by Fred Gerlach, son of Louis, for whom the town of Gerlach was named. Later it was a part of the John Casey estate, until it was sold to Todd Jaksick (Bright Holland Corporation) in 1998. The feature known as "Fly Geyser" has attracted a substantial amount of interest since it developed from a leaking geothermal well into a striking colorful spouting statue, sitting on a dais of mud amidst ponds of warm water and thriving plants. The property is generally off limits to visitors because of liability and vandalism concerns.
