One day just isn’t enough
Fish the banks, pocket water and private property floating from the boat through some of our 102 miles of gold medal-designated water.
The Browns Canyon fly fishing trip takes place in the National Monument where you will fish and camp under the stars.
Depending on the day we may be fishing dry flies, nymphs or streamers. If you do not have prior experience, we will teach you on the fly!
No! For people that have never fly-fished, the Arkansas River wade fishing option is usually better as it allows for more instruction time. That said, we do take people to float fishing with no experience as our guides can adjust the positioning of the boat based on your casting ability.
Yes, you do and you can obtain one at Colorado Parks & Wildlife!
Transportation to and from the river, PFD/life jacket and lunch on full-day tours. Fishing gear is available for rent.
We recommend bringing your own flies. That said, your guide will be stocked with all flies and tackle needed for the day (as a backup). If you lose a lot of your guides’ flies, it is customary to reimburse them.
No. Our fishing boats have hard floors, swivel seats and lean bars. Fishing can be done either standing or sitting down. The only walking during the Browns Canyon fishing trip is to get in or out of the boat.
