WHY CUTTHROAT ANGLERS?

OUR GUIDES

There’s a reason that the people of Summit County have voted Cutthroat Anglers the “Best Fly Fishing Outfitter” for the last ten years in a row — it’s because our guides are the very best in the Rockies. Put simply, we have a team full of true fishing folks, with the rivers of Colorado practically running through their veins.  Click here to learn more about what makes our guides great.

OUR WATER ACCESS

The Cutthroat Anglers shop sits along the banks of the Blue River in Silverthorne, Colorado, but our guides cast in almost every fishable body of water within 100 miles of our fly shop. 

Since the day we opened, we’ve made water access for our trips a priority. Now, we pride ourselves on the fact that our guide service has one of the largest and best portfolios of water permits in the state. There is almost every trout fishing environment available in Colorado — small streams, freestone rivers, tailwaters, high mountain lakes, stillwater reservoirs — and with us, you have access to all of it. Click here to learn more about our water access across the state of Colorado.

The fishing is great in Colorado year-round, and our guides host fly fishing trips all year because each season provides unique opportunities that others cannot. While fishing fans from across the globe recognize Colorado for its unmatched dry fly fishing during the summer (usually June through September), we can’t get enough of fishing in the fall under the yellow Aspen trees or in the winter as a break from the ski season — and, if we’re being honest, the larger crowds. There’s a common saying that trout don’t live in ugly places, and we enjoy trying to catch them (and the surrounding views) all year long. 

We offer first-class trips for fishing enthusiasts of all ages and levels of experience. Our trips include floats, wades, private water access fishing and dry-land lessons. For fly fishing floats or wades, you can choose between a full or half day. All of our trips include water, soft drinks and the gear you need, and all full-day trips include lunch. 

Trips with Cutthroat Anglers are about fishing on your terms. All trips are private and personalized to your group. No matter your skill level, our guides meet you where you are and cater to your needs, whatever they may be. We limit our guide-to-angler ratio to keep the experience personalized and attentive. Our hope is that by the end of the day you’ve enjoyed the process of fishing, not just the catching. We’re proud to have long-time regulars and repeat customers of all ages and levels of experience — including family and friends to couples and corporate trips. But you don’t have to take our word for it... We’ll let our reviews speak for themselves.
