From novice anglers to well-seasoned fishermen, our guide staff at Gore Creek Fly Fisherman will treat you to an experience on the legendary waters of the Vail Valley and beyond - an experience that will leave you with memories of a lifetime. We accommodate all skill levels and and child over the age of 10 can go on a float trip.
Access to the Colorado River, the Eagle River, Gore Creek, the Roaring Fork, the Yampa River and the most extensive National Forest Service permits in the Vail Valley give you never-ending options for unlimited fishing adventures!
Our guides spend more time in waders than they do in regular street clothes. On the water daily, their knowledge and experience ensures they will show you a memorable fishing experience on our waters. With a wealth of waters to choose from, the guides will select certain waters based on angler preference, level of experience, water conditions, and current hatches. Wade trips are taken on all local waters. Our float trips utilize unique designed fishing rafts and drift boats and are taken on the upper and lower Colorado, Eagle and Roaring Fork Rivers. Float trips offer the angler the chance to do two kinds of fishing on the same trip. Fishing from a boat is fast-paced and exciting and then you will have the chance to stop, get out and wade fish for a while. Wade fishing offers a more intimate approach to the water, the fish and the surroundings. Just take your time and relax, that’s what its all about.

Don't miss out on our Breakthrough Course...
The “Breakthrough” One Day School is designed to take a complete beginner and transform that person into a competent angler by the end of the day. The morning will be spent understanding how to read water and the specific food sources for that time of year, along with a focus on proper casting techniques and the right knots to use for the right applications. After lunch we will apply all that you learned in the morning on the water. This is a great way to get “your feet wet.”
Trip price is $400 per person
