Your Fly Fishing Trip Includes:

All gear and tackle including rods, reels, waders & boots, leaders, tippet, and flies. This means you don’t get stuck with hidden charges (i.e. wader rental fees, flies purchased separately etc.) Of course, you are welcome to bring and use any personal gear.
Lunch – freshly-made custom sandwiches and snacks on full-day trips. Water provided on half-day trips.

What to Bring:

Rain jacket and any layering pieces to adjust for changing mountain weather. (it can get cold) Synthetics or wool are best underneath your waders and on your feet. Drab or earth toned clothing preferred. Extra clothing and socks advised, in case you get wet.
Polarized sunglasses (brown or amber lenses are preferable)
Brimmed hat to help with vision
Sunscreen (higher altitudes have more intense UV rays)
Any medications you require, or allergy EpiPen®
Any other drinks you desire, not mentioned above
Camera/mobile phone! Because trips are “catch and release”, your photos are your trophies. We’ll happily shoot photos on our equipment if preferred.

Colorado Fishing Licenses:

Colorado fishing licenses are required for all anglers aged 16 or older. These are not included in any trip costs, and must be purchased ahead of time. Normally a one-day or five-day pass suffices, but the annual may make sense if you’re going to be fishing in the state (or with us!) again.
Purchase online at the Colorado Parks & Wildlife website
Purchase by calling toll-free 1-800-244-5613. You will need a driver’s license and credit card for this method. Upon completion, the agent will give you a code to write down (or record in your phone) and bring with you. The code serves as you license for the day(s). It’s easier than it sounds and can be done from anywhere.

Transportation:

Our guides will either meet you at a predetermined location, or we can arrange for pickup. Ask about pick-up and drop-off options at the time of booking. We’re more than happy to help get you to the fish from your downtown Denver hotel or other locations.

Private water fees are charged in full at the time of booking and are non-refundable

Gratuity – It is customary in the fly fishing services to tip your guide on the day of the trip, in line with service industry norms, and greatly appreciated!
