Two Successful Small Businesses in Denver Join Together to Promote Fly Fishing and Tourism in Colorado
Denver, CO (January 14, 2012) –Trout’s Fly Fishing and Freestone Outfitters today announced a new partnership and full-service guided fly fishing business – Trout’s Guide Service. Trout's Guide Service is committed to making fly fishing more accessible for everyone, from would-be enthusiasts to dedicated anglers who want to explore Colorado’s abundant fishing resources in greater depth.
Through Trout’s Guide Service, Colorado residents and visitors will be offered a wide variety of guided fly fishing trips along the Front Range and beyond. Options include the South Platte River system, Colorado River drainage, and other Front Range creeks and tributaries within convenient reach of Denver.
“I think this partnership represents the best of the best, in that Trout’s is one of America’s finest fly shops, and Freestone Outfitters has some of the most savvy fly guides I’ve ever fished with,” said Kirk Deeter, an editor-at-large with Field & Stream magazine, and editor of TROUT, the national publication of Trout Unlimited. “This is a blockbuster deal that puts Trout’s in its own league in one of the ‘fishiest’ areas of the country.”
Trout’s Guide Service will help those new to fly fishing learn the basics via classroom seminars, as well as private and public-water fishing adventures. Trips will include half or full-day excursions, as well as all-inclusive multi-day options that feature gourmet meals and world-class lodging.
For anglers who want to better understand how to fish publicly accessible river systems like the Blue River, South Platte River, Arkansas River and Colorado River, Trout’s staff of professional and seasoned guides is available for on-the-water-instruction.
For customers more interested in a quiet day on a stretch of water in total solitude, Trout’s has a network of private leases and lodges to offer. To see our full service catalog CLICK HERE.
“Since 1995, Trout's Fly Fishing has been committed to providing the greater Denver angling community with the best in fly-fishing product selection, customer service and advice,” said Tucker Ladd, owner of Trout’s Fly Fishing. “For 2013, we are excited to expand our ability to serve customers by offering the best outfitting and educational resources of any fly shop in Colorado. This partnership will not only allow us to work with existing customers in ways that were not previously possible, but it will also allow us to reach an entirely new group of consumers that haven't been exposed to everything the sport of fly fishing holds.”
Trout’s Guide Service is a four-season business, ready to show anglers Colorado’s rainbow, brown, cutthroat trout and other species all year round.
