Chris helped to get me scheduled for a last minute fly-fishing trip on Clear Creek by Idaho Springs. Noah was my actual guide and his positive energy and expertise made the trip most memorable. I didn’t go out needing to catch a lot fish, but boy those wild trout were biting like crazy on the dry fly. Noah helped to reignite my passion for fly fishing that day and I wish him the very best with his future endeavors overseas. Overall, I highly recommend this fly fishing company to those wanting tight lines!

We had the best time fishing with Galvin Guiding! Our guide was Chris, and hats off to him! He really knows his stuff, and it was very apparent considering he was able to help us catch MANY fish during our trip, and neither of us had ever fly fished before. We had so much fun, and learned a lot about the art of fly fishing. We would absolutely recommend fishing with Galvin Guiding to anyone. We will definitely be going with these guys again on our next trip out.

My husband and son just finished a full day of fishing with Noah at Galvin’s guiding. They had a blast! All the fish are released unharmed, and they probably caught about 50 trout with no prior fly fishing experience. I would highly recommend this guide!

We had an amazing experience with Forrest of Galvin Guiding. These guys go above and beyond to ensure you have the best possible trip - from providing the best equipment, rods and tackles to fishing many different locations ensuring you have the best possible chances to catch fish.

Forrest was great - providing expert advice on techniques and really doing everything he could to give us a "white glove" experience. I've never fished with a guide who was so genuinely excited to put you on fish! It was the best guided fishing trip I've been on.

I've already recommended them to a friend coming to Denver in August!

As an experienced angler I had never used a guide service and was quickly impressed by Chris both as an instructor and hospitatlity professional. He matches his passion for teaching with delivering a world class client experience. He made time to communicate before the trip to set expectations and get to know me a bit. Chris worked hard to accomodate both my schedule / logistical needs as well as day of experience on the water. Not only did we land some beautiful fish on a perfect day, I learned a ton and gained confidence to continue to enjoy a great lifetime pursuit. I would certainly use Galvin Guiding again.

Jack and Bailey were outstanding guides. They knew where to take us, and we caught literally hundreds of fish!! They were very organized and service oriented, and made a bunch of inexperienced fly fishermen feel like experts! Thanks for the great day!

Fly fishing with Galvins Guiding was the cherry on top to a great trip to Colorado.

Our guide, Forrest, was an excellent instructor and guide for our group of first
timers.

Communication was clear from the beginning and we felt well prepared for the day. All the gear that was provided was an excellent condition.

Thanks to the great feedback and guidance from Forrest, we had an afternoon of catching fish and making memories.

Forrest took plenty of photos for us during the trip which really exemplifies the dedication to a great experience Galvin's
Guiding has.
Highly recommend!

I contacted Chris on Thursday afternoon about fishing on Sunday. Much to my surprise he was able to set us up short notice. Our guide was Forrest Williams, and we fished the Arkansas river in Pueblo. Forrest was the perfect choice for a novice fly fisher and a first timer. We nymph fished with short line length out and high sticking to reduce line drag. Ethan and I caught 35 trout in a half day and we lost more than we caught. Forrest gave great instruction including correction and encouragement throughout the day. I hoped to peak interest about fly fishing for Ethan, and the outcome Galvan guiding provided has lit a fire in my future son in law. We’re bringing the wives next time. I would fish with Forrest wherever he suggested, because he was knowledgeable, quick to rig up and net, a great teacher, and a fun guy to fish with. I recommend Galvin guides without reservation, especially Mr. Forrest Williams!!!
Sincerely, Brian F.

We had a half day fly fishing with Forrest as our guide on Clear Creek outside of Denver. I’ve been fly fishing in AZ with little success until today. Very professional and very knowledgeable. Kept our lines rigged, handled the snags no problem and scooped up and photoed the fish we caught. All the necessary gear was provided. Couldn’t have been more pleased with the day, company and results.
I would highly recommend Galvin Guiding for your Denver area fly fishing excursion.

If you want to have an absolute blast with pro fly fishermen, then look no further! We did this as part of a bachelor party and not only had a great time but learned how to get good at fly fishing. We were guided by Forrest, Noah, and Max who are just a pleasure to be around and very knowledge about everything from the flys to casting.

You have the option of choosing the river or lake or both. They provided all the gear and took us out to the middle of the lake. We were in full waders out in the middle of this lake catching fish left and right. What an experience!

For those of you who need that extra push to commit to this, this is your sign! DO IT!
