Vail Overnight Fly Fishing Trips
Adventure, private cabin, gourmet meals
Experience a riverside retreat like no other. Our Overnight program gives you pristine fishing opportunities and exclusive access to our private riverside cabin that is about 14 miles downriver. There is something about camping on the side of the river after fishing the evening hatch. Good food and cold beverages seem to taste better when gathered around a campfire. All of our overnight trips take place floating and fishing from drift boats on the Colorado River. Book your trip with us today for a private Colorado experience like none other.
Day 1
Midway through Day 1, you will pull over for a well-prepared riverside lunch, to take a small break from the fishing and really enjoy the views that the Rockies have to offer. As the day comes to an end, you will arrive at the private riverside cabin. At this point in your adventure, you have the option to kick back by the fire or switch from waders to your swimsuit for a nice soak in your riverside Jacuzzi. As you relax, chef will be preparing you a delectable meal that will never disappoint, and is completely designed to your palate.
Day 2
As the sun rises on the morning of Day 2, you will wake up to the smell of fresh coffee and the chef’s wonderful breakfast experience. Once you’re full and ready to go, you will walk out the door and hop right back in the boat.
Less Pressure On The Fish
Overnight trips allow us to fish water that is less pressured, meaning that fish see fewer anglers, hence fewer flies drifting by their face. This does not mean that you will catch a fish on every cast; you will still need a good drift and presentation to fool a trout.
Overnight In Style
The overnight float consists of two full days of guided fishing, our private chef for all meals, and a beautiful riverside cabin, with all the amenities of a hotel.
Fishing Days
Our Overnight Trip is a complete “float in & float out” operation. Once on the water, you will continue for the next seven miles, fishing some of the most pristine waters in the state. Our Chef will again will provide you with another masterful creation midway through the day. Your trip will conclude with the hope that you had a one-of-a-kind experience with a lifetime of memories.
Target Species
Our overnight trips are offered during our Float season, March – November.
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.
Where We Fish
Pickup
Your trip starts with meeting your guide mid-morning at the boat ramp of their choosing, and then proceed to float and fish, while enjoying the scenic views of the Colorado river and chasing wild rainbow and brown trout.
Wrap Up
After a fantastic overnight trip our guides will return you to your location. Take a peak at our fly fishing photo gallery to see some of the Colorado Trout you can expect to catch. If you have any time restraints please inform us upon booking so we can keep you on schedule. We look forward to showcasing our excellent private water fly fishing.
