What to Expect on Fly Fishing Colorado's Upper C Tour

Fly fishing is one of Colorado’s popular outdoor activities. Whether you’re looking for a day on the water with your family or just wanting to throw a line in the water and take in the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains, it’s a perfect past time for either.

The drive to tune into nature and truly understand the waters, the wind, and most importantly the fish is what makes one a successful angler. This skill is shown as you turn a stonefly from a mechanically made object into a four-course meal for that trout your about to nab. An avid fisherman knows the stretches in feeding flights that each fish takes and uses this knowledge in the pursuit of a great catch.

With that being said, not everyone is a master angler with endless pockets to start a new hobby. That’s where Fly Fishing Colorado comes in. We’ll teach you the do’s and don’ts of fly fishing for beginners, or give the experienced a great day on the river on our Upper Colorado River excursion.

Where is the fly fishing trip?

This journey takes place on the famous Colorado River that carved the Grand Canyon. You’ll take off from the convenient location of Kremmling, which is less than an hour outside of Summit County.

What gear is included?

Fly Fishing Colorado will set you up with the gear and knowledge you need for successful fishing between flies, poles, and raft. All you need beforehand is a fishing license.

How long is the trip?

You’ll be on floating on the water for about 4 hours on this trip. This makes for a greater amount of chances of catch with trying out different spots.
