If there's not enough snow on the slopes for you or your legs get a little tired, come join the fun and join us for a float trip. WOW, the 10 day forecast is very fishable, with most of the days in the mid 50's to mid 60's. We just dress a little warmer and enjoy some of our hot homemade soups or chili along the way.
So, how good is the fishing right now? Clients book March and the first 3 weeks of April 2 years in advance with their guides, but we still have room for you.
The water temperatures have risen almost 20 degrees causing massive hatches of Midges, Baetis (blue wing olives) and the Caddis Tax Day hatch will be arriving any day now. The Rainbows are in pre spawn mode and very actively feeding, and the Brown Trout can smell them eggs. You could call it the perfect storm! come out now, you won't be disappointed.
In the winter, the fish have all relocated into the bottom of the deepest holes in the river, and we just use the dory boat to shuttle us from one hole to the next. They're stacked in these holes like cord wood. Plus, don't miss our spring creek ranch fishing that fishes really well year around. Read more below. We fish 12 months out of the year in one of the best fisheries in the country. It almost feels like spring fishing already and there are some windows for making memories right now. We are open for business for both float and wade trips. Fly fishing out of a boat can really be a lot of fun, even if you have never fly fished before. 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.
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 2024 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.
