Guide Trips

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 and lake charters. 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.

HOW TO BOOK

Please call the shop at 970-262-2878 or email ben@fishcolorado to request a guide trip. We take pride in catering our guide trip experiences to each angler and it is important that we have a full conversation at the time of booking. Therefore, we are no longer booking guide trips online.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

After booking a trip with us in person, online or over the phone, you’ll get a confirmation email with the trip details. If you have any questions before your trip, you can reply to those or give us a call. In the week leading up to the trip, your guide will get in contact with you about meet-up times and lunch if you’re fishing a full day. Please be aware that any balances owed are automatically collected 7 days prior to your reservation date.

The day of the trip, be sure to bring everything you need to get a Colorado Fishing License if you haven’t already purchased one online. To get one from us in person at the shop, you’ll need to bring a valid state-issued ID and a social security number. Click here to learn more about the Colorado Fishing License. After you have a license, your guide answer any questions you have and check that your group has filled out all necessary paperwork before going out for the day.
