The rivers are continuing to fish well with so many different hatches going on, but the streamer bite has been bringing big fish to the net. Right now the fishing is prime time in our valley, which is one of the best fisheries in the United States. Water temperatures are cooling, and the fish are active. Our Spring Creek fishing is crushing it lately (read below) as well. The creeks are running clear with lots of big fish being caught. Fly fishing out of a boat can really be a lot of fun, even if you have never fly fished before. Come out and enjoy the fall colors with us as a bonus this time of year and be sure to bring your camera. We provide all the equipment you need, rods, reels, waders and boots if needed, and we even include all the flies at no extra charge to you. We are open for business for both float and wade trips.
If you are new to the sport, we will get you into fish. This is one of the reasons we are selected the Local's favorite guide and outfitter year after year in our valley by the Post Independent. Call me now for more information or to book your day of memories at 970-404-1339.
Be sure to check out our trip of Big Fish on Spring Creeks >CLICK HERE. this has really been fishing well, especially for new people to the sport, and occurs on a private ranch with a rod fee. This is a great option if you just want a short 4 hour trip. We've been crushing it recently on these small spring creeks for big fish. You won't regret your time in our valley. Be sure to bring your camera.
Our valley is one of the best places in all of the Western United States to fly fish, and Field and Stream Magazine says "Glenwood Springs is the #1 fishing town in America". What's stopping you? Come Join the Fun!!!!
Now is the time to start booking your trips for 2025 for the prime times. If you are a novice or expert, get out and enjoy the moment now. The fishing conditions are always changing day to day so, please give us a call for the current fishing conditions, and to book your trip. Book your trip for now or in the future. Contact us
A new honor for me, I was selected the "Best of the Rockies" Best Guide by Elevation Outdoor Magazine There is a big difference when you say you are the best, and the community say "yes, you are the best". This represents the 6 states of Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, New Mexico, and Colorado, and it is considered the most prestigious award in the West. I was one of only two fishing guides, the others were climbing, snowboarding and rafting, hunting etc. with over 10,000 guides to choose from. This is quite a honor for me, and I hope you will come share my office with me, as it is special, plus my prices are still the lowest in the valley.
Why would you look elsewhere? Plus we just have fun.
Happy Anglers
What our Happy Clients Have to Say!
Our family has shared some of our best fly fishing memories on the river or fishing Bar ZX with Dustin and John Harcourt! Thanks for creating great memories and fun times.
I’ve fished all over the world with a lot of great guides on unforgettable trips. But in my book, nothing beats a day on the river with Dustin Harcourt. Dustin knows the fish and rivers of western Colorado like nobody else, and a day with him is always fun and invigorating. I enjoy getting my family and friends out for trips with Dustin because they invariably walk away with a deep appreciation for the magnificent fishery we have in this region, and how many big and willing trout there are to catch. You put that together with Dustin Harcourt’s personality, and one of his great stream-side meals, and you’ve got a perfect day. Get out there with him – you’ll be glad you did.

There are many guides in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado, but there is no one better in the RFV for your next fishing trip to this part of Colorado.
