Venture out on this Half-Day Fly Fishing Tour, treading along the riverbanks and casting into the fresh, clear waters that cascade down from the San Juan Mountains. Take in the landscape's beauty while learning about the rich ecosystem contributing to these gold medal-rated waters. During this Walk & Wade Guided Fishing Trip, you will receive in-depth instruction on proper technique and strategy for a fun and memorable day on the water. Learn the fundamentals and practice how to stalk fish, select flies, control your drift, manage your line, and properly land and release fish.

Let our guides tailor your experience, leading you to the region's best fishing spots. We have a wide array of rivers to choose from, varying from premier tailwaters to scenic freestone rivers to high country streams.

Uncompaghre Located between Ridgway and Montrose, the tailwaters of the Uncompaghre offer predictable flows, constant water temperatures, and abundant aquatic insects, making for a uniquely productive year-round fishery that is great for beginners and experts alike. We offer premium access to multiple river sections regardless of weather or time of the year. The structured holding water, deep runs, and large pools create an ideal habitat for heavy rainbows, browns, and cutthroat trout. Because these fish require stealthy presentations and exact fly imitations based on recommendations from your guide, it is an excellent opportunity to practice the timeless art of match-the-hatch fly fishing.

San Miguel Located between Telluride and Ridgway, this Freestone River offers consistent insect hatches, providing anglers a rare opportunity to experience classic Colorado dry fly fishing for eager Rainbow, Brown, and Cutthroat Trout. As the San Miguel River meanders its way through red-rock walls, scenic sandstone canyons, and forested banks, expect to be amazed at the river’s serene riparian ecology, clear waters and productive angling opportunities.

High Country Streams Check out our expansive access to high country trout fishing, perfect for all levels, from beginners, kids, and families to devoted anglers. Smaller in size but eager to bite, these Brook, Cutthroat and Rainbow trout can all be found.

Our guides are not just expert fly-fishers but also passionate storytellers, always ready to share Colorado's secrets and legends as they help you navigate the riverbanks in search of achieving a tight line. Their expertise will ensure you have a fun and safe experience, regardless of your skill level.

This half-day adventure isn't just about the fish— it's about the entire experience. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the mountain landscapes and practice your skills at fly fishing all season long, feeling inspired by the natural beauty around you.
