Colorado Fly Fishing Trips

We provide year-round Guided wade and walk Colorado fly fishing trips.

Wade fishing is a great way for novice and expert anglers to enjoy the area’s bountiful waters. Our most popular fly fishing trip in the summer months, wade fishing  affords fly fishermen a chance to thoroughly work waters with hundreds of native trout – with an expert guide right by your side. Our Orvis endorsed guide staff closely monitor river flows, water clarity, and movement of bug hatches to ensure your fishing where the fish are biting best.  

Wade fishing gives you the option of fishing more than 1 river in a day – the options for wade trips are endless. While the majority of our Colorado fishing trips take place on the Eagle River, Colorado River, Frying Pan River, Blue River, or Roaring Fork River, many of our clients choose to explore other waters.

Our guides love to grab their favorite light rod and explore our small high mountain streams with any type of fisherman – beginner or advanced – and help them learn more about the sport of fly fishing. The dry fly fishing and scenery is unbeatable this time of year, and crowds are non-existent.

Our extremely knowledgeable and friendly Orvis guides will make sure that you have a great experience, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned angler.  We provide all the equipment necessary for you to be comfortable and safe – all you need to do is book your trip.
