Colorado Fly Fishing

Summer 2017

Runoff has peaked, and its only a matter of days before we gat back on the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers. The Frying Pan River is in excellent shape with PMDs and Caddis making their annual apearance. As soon as flows drop on the Roaring Fork we will be seeing the fabled Green Drakes!

We are expecting good summer flows, Come up and join us!

Call us before you come up for the most up-to-date conditions.

Stop by one of our shops to stock up on the best flies for where you plan on fishing. For more details see our Roaring Fork Valley River Flow information page. We are also home to the Roaring Fork Valley Fishing Report.

Check out our Closeouts! We recently added some rods, reels and other gear to the page.

Fly Fishing Guide Trips

Did you know that Roaring Fork Anglers and our select guides have been chosen Best Local Guide Service every year since 2004? Since 1980 we’ve done Colorado Fly Fishing Guide Trips on Roaring Fork Valley waters and beyond.

From Fly Fishing in Aspen to Fly Fishing in Rifle, We also hold outfitting permits for float and wade fishing on the Roaring Fork River, upper and lower Colorado River & Eagle River. We also offer wade fishing on both the Frying Pan River and the Crystal River, and have access to several private ranches and spring creeks that are capable of producing trophy trout.

Check out our Roaring Fork Valley Fly Fishing Report for recent activity of fish and bugs.

With the help of a long time outfitter of the Gunnison Gorge, we are now booking three-day/two-night fly-fishing trips on the ‘Gunnie’.
