Colorado's Premier Fly Fishing Experience
For more than 42 years, Gore Creek Fly Fisherman has proudly served as the Vail Valley's oldest fly fishing shop and premier guide service. Since opening our doors in 1983, we've helped thousands of anglers discover the incredible trout fishing opportunities found throughout the mountains of Colorado.
Our experienced guides spend hundreds of days each year on local waters including the Eagle River, Gore Creek, the Colorado River, the Roaring Fork River, and countless high-country streams and alpine lakes. That time on the water allows us to consistently provide exceptional fishing experiences for anglers of every skill level.
Whether you're picking up a fly rod for the very first time or you're an experienced angler searching for your next trophy trout, our goal has always remained the same—provide outstanding customer service, honest local knowledge, and unforgettable days on the water.
Located in the heart of Avon, Colorado, we're open year-round and proudly offer professionally guided fly fishing adventures during every season. From summer float trips to productive winter walk-and-wade outings, we're passionate about helping our guests experience the very best of Colorado fly fishing.
