The best Colorado fly fishing!

Arkansas River

Full Day

Combo

This Colorado wade fishing trip has become a very popular summertime trip for those who like to walk/wade fish and float fish as well. We start each day with a morning wade trip beginning at Arkansas River Tours in Cotopaxi at 7:30 AM with a guide from Royal Gorge Anglers fly shop. This portion of the trip lets you shake loose the cobwebs and concentrate on the great early morning dry fly fishing. At noon, you are free to spend a few hours on your own relaxing during the heat of the afternoon or pursuing Browns rising to hoppers along shorelines. Meet us at 4:30 back at Arkansas River Tours in Cotopaxi for an evening float using large dries and streamers. The best of both worlds! Be prepared with your own flies and lunch. Trips depart daily mid-June through August! Book now!

Trip Reviews

Top notch!
★★★★★
“ Very good whitewater and fly fishing guides. Top notch!”
- Brandon Welch

Educated us on becoming better fisherman!
★★★★★
“ Cody did an excellent job taking us down the Arkansas River late in the season during low flows. Cody made sure that we had the right flies on throughout the trip to give us the best shot at getting hits, and educated us on becoming better fisherman to our request. His ability to maneuver the boat around the stream allowed us to focus more on the fishing instead of looking for rocks.”
- Jacob Sargent

We were setup for success!
★★★★★
“ We weren't avid fisherman but starting with instructional walk and wade and then hitting the river in the afternoon we were setup for success! Thanks to Pat for a great experience”
- James Godwin
