Winter Fly Fishing Trips
Winter Fly Fishing in Vail Colorado is another activity to enjoy for tourists and locals alike. Many of our winter days are above freezing and full of sunshine which allow for comfortable fly fishing conditions.
Catch & Release
Once you are at our fishing destination our professional fly fishing guides will work with you on the water and educate you on fly fishing techniques. We practice Catch and release so all fish caught must be released immediately.
Fishing Day
During the winter we will primarily be nymph fishing for Rainbow & Brown Trout in slow deep pools along the Eagle River. There is no need to make long perfect casts and our seasoned guides provide instruction for anglers of all abilities. Our guides also have a cooler full of ice cold beverages for your convenience as well as snacks to munch on during your trip.
Winter trips are conducted during the warmest period of the day
Target Species
Our winter trips are wading only and are offered December – February.
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.
