Float 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 than the other but they all provide excellent angling opportunities. Float Trips allow you to see sections of 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 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 March – November
