BOOKING INFO:
Fly Fishing anywhere is fun, but there’s nothing quite like fly fishing in one of Colorado’s remote Flat Tops Wilderness. From the small streams to high alpine lakes, the fish are unpressured and the scenery is unbeatable.
The Flat Tops Wilderness offers a diverse range of fishing opportunities within its picturesque scenery. Anglers can opt for small stream fishing, explore alpine lakes, or visit beaver ponds. Each option presents its own set of techniques, advantages, challenges, and opportunities. In these waters, brookies and native cutthroats can be found taking advantage of abundant insect hatches that occur on the still waters during the summer months.
When venturing into the backcountry, it is important to be prepared for unpredictable weather conditions. Bringing extra layers will ensure a comfortable fishing experience. A small day pack is necessary to carry snacks, gear and essentials. Please note that equipment is not provided, so be sure to bring your own gear. Stay informed by checking the Fishing Reports for the latest information on flies and hatches. Feel free to contact us too for guidance on which flies to bring. Don’t forget to pack sunscreen, polarized glasses, bug repellent, extra tippet and leaders, and any other gear you might need for a day on the water.
When is the best time to go fishing?
Good action on the Flat Tops starts around June and goes well into the fall. That’s the beauty of fishing in Colorado. Guided trips scheduled are held rain or shine, however in the event of dangerous weather or non-fishable conditions, we will discuss rescheduling with you.
Do I need a fishing license?
Yes. You will need a fishing license to fish on the lakes or rivers. These can be purchased through Colorado Parks and Wildlife or at most sporting goods stores.
Do I need to bring my own gear?
Yes you will have to bring your own gear. Be sure to check the latest fishing reports for popular flies and hatch information.
Is transportation to and from the fishing spots included?

Can we keep the fish?

Should I tip the guide?
Guide gratuity is not included as part of your payment, and is by no means mandatory. However, 20% is a very common tip percentage to give your guide at the end of the day. If you feel the guide exceeded expectations, more than 20% is always greatly appreciated.
