NUMBER 1 FISHING TOWN!!!!

It’s no surprise that Field and Stream magazine just named Glenwood Springs the NUMBER ONE FISHING TOWN IN AMERICA!  With five great rivers, many lakes and reservoirs and countless small streams and creeks within minutes of Glenwood Springs, this title is justly deserved.

Ask many Roaring Fork Valley and Glenwood Springs locals when the best fishing of the year is and they’ll tell you pre-run-off and with spring just around the corner, the trout fishing will get better and better when the water is good.  Look for blue winged olives and there has been reports of Mother's Day Caddis hatch going on.  For accurate, up-to-date conditions check the fishing report and river flows.

For questions about the rivers or fly selection, call the shop at 800-781-8120.

Colorado Guided Fishing Trips

We’ve been doing guide trips on these waters since 1980 and hold outfitting permits for float and wade fishing on the Roaring Fork River, Eagle River and upper and lower Colorado River. We also offer wade fishing on both the Frying Pan River and the Crystal River, and have access to several private ranches and spring creeks that are capable of producing trophy trout. With the help of a long time outfitter of the Gunnison Gorge, we are now booking three-day/two-night fly-fishing trips on the ‘Gunnie’.

Summer float fishing is heating up!

All rivers have peaked and are starting to drop and clear.  We are now booking float trips for the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers.  We expect to see Green Drakes, several species of Caddis, Yellow Sallies, Pale Morning Duns and many other insects in the coming weeks.Fishing should be good to excellent throughout July and August!
