Our guide float fishing trips take place on one of our permitted rivers that are located throughout Colorado. During the course of the trip, you will access the river from a drift boat or raft, where your professional fly-fishing guide will lead you through the ins and outs of the sport of fly fishing. These trips are designed for anglers of all ability levels, from seasoned experts to those that have never touched a fly rod. Everyone will benefit from our professional guide’s personalized instruction – everything from refining your casting stroke to mastering the basics of fly fishing to learning a new skill or technique.
What We Provide
- Rod & Reel - we’ll set you up with a high-quality rod and reel that match your experience level and the trip at hand.
- Flies - our guides will choose the most current patterns daily from our shop’s selection of top-quality flies.
- Terminal Tackle - included in the price of every trip is all terminal tackle including tippet, split shot, leaders, and strike indicators.
- Wading Gear - premium waders and wading boots from Simms will keep you dry (and help you stay upright) throughout the trip.
What is Not Included
- Colorado Fishing License - fishing licenses or gratuity for the guide are not included in our guided trip pricing. Colorado Fishing Licenses can be obtained online on the CPW Website. All trip participants 16 years of age and older are required to carry a valid Colorado fishing license with them at all times while fishing. We strongly our guests to purchase their license online prior to the trip in order to save time and get on the river sooner.
- Food - half day trips do not include lunch, so it is highly suggested that you bring along some snacks just in case you get hungry during your adventure. All guides will have a cooler stocked with water, where you can also store any additional beverages or items you want to keep cold.
- Gratuity - Never expected, always appreciated. Our guides work hard to provide you with the best possible experience and appreciate your generosity.
- Transportation - Transportation to and from the river is not included in the standard guide fee rate. Transportation can be added to the daily rate for an
additional fee. Prior to your trip, you and your guide will establish a convenient meeting location somewhere along the way to the river.
