Dave was amazing! He gave excellent concise instructions and we were fishing quickly. Dave had a calm demeanor and was very patient with us beginners. He got us into fish. We were able to catch and land fish immediately. Dave also pointed out how to read the water for more opportunities to catch fish.

I had a great time fishing with Rachel as my guide! She was very professional and knowledgeable. I learned so many new techniques, and highly recommend this company. I hooked several big fish that got anway and netted a few as well. Rachel is a patient teacher and fun to hang out with on the river!

We did the 1/2 day fly fishing in the Eagle River with Adam as our guide. He was extremely patient with these first timers and worked with both of us to help bag our rainbow and brown speckled trout. Even though the river was high and raging with the snow melt, we still caught atleast 7 between the two of us. Would highly recommend this outfitter and guide. Great communication, very kind and patient and heck even gave us good restaurant recommendations for the area!! Book today!

Thanks so much for fishing with us. Adam is awesome on the water and knows where to find them in high water. You can fish any time out here on the Eagle River!

Dave was an amazing guide from the very beginning. He called to confirm the trip, checked the weather, and scouted the river before we went out to ensure we caught fish. And did we ever catch fish. He was a patient teacher explaining each step, and if you follow his guidance, you will be very successful. He is also a great talker, knows lots about football and Colorado. Great personality, knows lots of stuff, and really loves fishing. Pictures he took came out amazing, and he had lots of suggestions for great places to eat after our trip. He is worth every penny, especially if you are like my husband and I, who have never done fly fishing before.

Our guide Dave was fantastic. He provided all the equipment and had back up sizes for shoes and waders, he took time to instruct us (we were first timers), was engaged and helpful during the fishing and took lots of photos. We went on this trip to enjoy the outdoors with no expectations of catching fish (it is hit or miss) but lucked out and caught (and then released) several trout. Dave will customize your trip for beginners through experts. I highly recommend this tour.

I had a great time with them as well! You flatter me! I'd take them out any time. They were great listeners and great listeners make the best fishermen. Let's get out there again soon!

I’m sorry to have to write this review. However , my Son caught one tiny brown trout and we didn’t even get a picture of the fish because it jumped out of his hands before the guide could take a picture. I didn’t catch anything and we kept getting hung up on the bottom. The trip was booked as a 1/2 day float ($577 w/tax) and we were on the Colorado River (Rancho del Rio drop-in) for approx. 3 hours. The guide (Tim) got angry when my Son dropped his rod while going through the rapids because he got hung up. He didn’t offer my Son another rig to continue fishing. I paid the guide $200 to buy himself another rod/reel. I did not feel like he deserved much more as he ruined our experience and told us that the rod my Son dropped had sentimental value as it was his first rod/reel to catch trout here. He said that he bought it 5-years ago for $150. I will NOT be coming back to this company and will NOT recommend to any of my friends or family.

This is not our trip or customer. We don't have a guide named Tim nor do we float on the Colorado River. Please remove your review.
