Would i do this trip again? For sure, 100%. Robbie's 1st class. Incredibly knowledgeable on the local fishing, has every piece of equipment you could think of, and is good company. Called our trip short 2 hrs due to baby nap time but still caught 20 fish. Hope we can make it back some day to do it again. Thanks... More

When you're here rent a boat from Weekend Warrior Outdoors and spend a leisurely day fishing, water skiing or swimming (if you can handle the cold). Pappy's Restaurant at the Marina has great pizzas and burgers too. More

It's a nature lover and photographer's paradise. At sunrise or sunset the views are out of this world, to use a poor cliche which cannot describe the natural beauty of Blue Mesa Reservoir. Not really being anglers, we cannot tell about the fish, but judging by the great number of fishermen (boats and on foot), it seems to have a... More

Blue Mesa is one of the finest yet more challenging fisheries in the state. If you’re looking for a fun and memorable experience, Blue Mesa Fishing will make sure it happens. Regardless of whether you’re a novice or experienced fisherman, young or old, you’ll walk away with a big smile on your face and more than a few fish. Behind... More

My wife and I spent a day of guided fishing with Robbie of Sportfishcolorado. What a great day of landing kokanees. Action was non stop, we had numerous doubles and at least 1 triple. The kokanees were mostly 4 year olds 14 to 16 inches in length and very fat. Robbie is a very capable, helpful guide , just a... More

Another day of catching thanks to Robby @ SportfishColorado. The quantity and quality of fish (kokanee, brown and rainbows) exceeded my expectations - this time on the water rather than ice but each every bit as fun. Can't wait to get back this summer. WWW.sportfishcolorado.com More

My husband has been out with Casey twice now....He had a great time and caught lots of fish. Can't wait to send out my boys with Casey. Its also fun to watch the other boats follow Casey around the water. My husband loved jigging for the Macs. More
