As a novice trout fisherman, but long time conventional angler I am always looking to learn as much as I can. I had a great time experience with Cutthroat Anglers and guide Mitch on a Colorado River float trip. I knew if I had a chance I would try a walk / wade trip. I could not have been happier with my choice. Matt aka “Campy” was the guide for the day. Campy was a great teacher ,spent the morning getting a full-on personal skills clinic. It was great , reinforced the things I did know , and taught me many new tricks and skills. Then we went out and put all our skills to the test on the upper Colorado River. Such a great day to enjoy some sun, and soak up Campys knowledge. I asked him questions about nearly everything and he was more than willing answer with his years of experience. I learned the basics but more importantly with Campy’s instruction and encouragement I am building a more solid foundation to incorporate more advanced skills and techniques. I got a few nice brown trout and my first mountain whitefish. ( as a fisherman and scientist that is #785 on my life list) I highly recommend Campy and Cutthroat Anglers, even during these trying times everything was safe, comfortable, and very well managed. Well earned customer for life! …

Having fished with many guides throughout the years I recognize a fantastic one quickly. Mathew “Campy” put me on fish, coached me calmly and introduced me to Knowledge inconspicuously. I’ve already booked 2 days next June. As I only get to fish in Colorado two or three times a year I wanted to book the best. Jeff Kelly…

Matthew Campanells was personable and tailored the fly fishing to meet our desires and needs. And we caught plenty of fish. We were provide a pre-ordered lunch and the setting was amazing. Thank you Matt! We hope to see you next year. Dede and Paul

It is hard to imagine a fly fisherman who could not learn and improve after a few hours on the water with Matt Campenella. Like any good guide, Matt knows where the fish are, and what they are eating, but he also has a depth of knowledge that goes well beyond the norm. Matt combines an encyclopedic knowledge of insect biology, hydrodynamics, and fish feeding behavior with 30 years spent mastering the art of fly construction, selection, and presentation in Colorado waters. Professor Matt filled in many gaps in our understanding, dramatically improved our presentation, and hooked us up with some epic Brown trout and a rare Colorado Whitefish. After a 5 star experience on every level, I am looking forward to another outing with Matt in the near future.…
