THE TIME TO GO FLY FISHING IS RIGHT NOW !!!! Are you looking for some adventure? Never Evers to avid anglers should come join us for a float trip or small creek trip to a private ranch. We specialize in making memories. Our 10 day forecast is calling for some welcome cooling starting this week with temps finally back into mostly the 60's and even a day in the high 40's and should make for some amazing days on the river. Take advantage of this crazy window of opportunity and book your trip now. Our biggest, best, hatch of the year is going on right now. We call in MARCH MIDGE MADNESS, and includes a BUGZILLION caddis flies. It's crazy good and runs all the way up to the end of April. Our go to flies right now are streamers, egg patterns, midges, caddis and mayfly nymphs. The Rainbows are in their spawn mode, and it's a great time for egg patterns, caddis, midges and BWO's (blue wing olives, ie Baetis). Unlike most of the fly shops, there is no extra charges at the end of the day for flies used. On top of that, the best fishing right now is late evening. We will get you into more fish by making our trips 11am to 7pm, where the fly shops open at 8am and close at 6pm, do their trips accordingly, and miss the best hatches of the day! Additionally, we avoid the crowds, and pretty much have the river to ourselves. My family has fly fished this valley for over 70 years. We have been selected the #1 Local's Favorite guide, the #1 Local's Favorite Outfitter, and the really big one is Elevation Outdoor Magazine. They represent all sports, hunting, rock climbing, rafting, skiing, etc. from six states from Idaho to New Mexico. Once a year they select the "BEST GUIDE OF THE ROCKIES" from well over 10.000 guides. I am the only fly-fishing guide to ever receive this honor. Additionally, I was selected to guide George W. Bush and Collin Powell. My Dad says. "I'm the REEL DEAL" My prices are the lowest in the valley. Why would you go elsewhere?

Call us today at 970-404-1339 for a day to day fishing forecast to trick some of these fish and book your trip. Our Spring Creek fishing always fishes well (read below). The creeks are running clear, but lower than normal, with lots of big fish being caught. March 20th we had a wedding party of 20 anglers and they all caught fish. This year, Harcourt Fly Fishing Outfitters was once again selected the Local's Favorite best outfitter in the valley. We were featured on the front page of our local newspaper, the Post Independent, Wednesday May 14th fishing this property. CLICK HERE to read it. fishing this ranch. Additionally, fly fishing out of a boat can really be a lot of fun, even if you have never fly fished before. The fish are liking egg patterns, beatis, mayfly nymphs,and streamers.

Be sure to bring your camera.

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.
