Colorado Float Fishing Trips
Float trips are a special experience for anglers and non-anglers alike. Our full and half-day float trips allow you to see multiple river miles in some of the most scenic areas in Colorado. We offer fast-paced floats down the Eagle and Roaring Fork Rivers as well as slow meandering floats down the magnificent Colorado River. Each river fishes differently from the other, but they all provide excellent angling opportunities. Float Trips allow you to see sections of the river that are not always accessible by foot and put you in places where fish do not see a lot of angling pressure.
We float in both drift boats and custom fly fishing rafts. There is a maximum of two anglers and one fly fishing guide in each boat.
Target Species
Our most common catches are rainbow trout and brown trout; we do get occasional cutthroat trout.
We practice catch and release, so all fish caught must be released immediately. We are more than happy to take photos of your trip/ fish and email them to you at the end of the day.
We offer Float Trips from March through November
Where We Fish
Fishing Day
Float trips cover an average of 7 river miles through some incredibly scenic Colorado country. Full-day float trips include a riverside lunch complete with table and chairs. Our guides also have a cooler full of cold beverages and snacks for your convenience. If you have any medical or dietary needs, please let us know at the time of booking so we can better assist you.
Wrap Up
After an excellent float trip, our guides will drive you back to your location, then email you photos from the day.
What's Included
Safety & PFD’s
Upon arriving our guides will prepare the boats and fly fishing equipment at the boat launch. We are required to give you a brief safety overview to make you aware of the surrounding elements. As an outfitter we are also required to wear PFD’s whenever we are in the boat. We provide comfortable PFD’s that will not hinder your ability to fly fish.
