Fly Fishing
The Upper Colorado below Gore Canyon meanders through the spectacular Canyon Country offering not only outstanding fishing, but also an unforgettable setting. From the early spring Blue Winged Olive hatches, to epic late sping salmon fly hatches that give way to an abundance of caddis and summer mayflies, the broad runs of this river produce some incredible fishing. Float fishing provides the best opportunities to cover water and experience all the beauty that this mighty river has to offer! The only thing that rivals the beauty of these canyons is the trout you will encounter on your journey down this river!
Eagle River
The Eagle River brings together a wealth of opportunites from early season float fishing to year round wade fishing. From winter nymphing with sz 22 midge patterns to blizzard like caddis hatches in early summer and then the epic emergence of Green Drakes (sz 10s and12s!) mid summer, there is always a trout to chase no matter what time of year.
Gore Creek
Running through the Vail Valley, Gore Creek presents an intimate, small stream setting for anglers to stalk everything from high mountain brookies to trophy size rainbow and brown trout. The "Gore" offers the angler a wealth of year round challenges. From excellent hatches when the fish will eat anything to the technical aspects of sight fishing nymphs without indicators will surely excite each and every angler!
