Upon arrival at our Colorado fly shop, you’ll check in and meet your experienced Colorado fly fishing guides for your overnight float fishing trip. After reaching the put-in point, all your gear will be packed into dry bags, and the boat will be prepared for the expedition. The overnight float trip provides ample time to cover more river miles than a single-day excursion, giving you the chance to explore new sections of the river and discover hidden gems along the way.
Your Colorado fly fishing adventure begins with a few hours of float fishing before stopping for lunch. The fishing will continue as you make your way down the river, eventually reaching the campsite for the evening. Here, you can choose to wade fish, relax around the camp, or simply unwind while your guide sets up camp and prepares a delicious dinner. An evening hatch or gathering around the campfire adds to the enchanting ambiance.
High-Quality Fly Fishing
Colorado River fly fishing features a diverse range of fish, including wild brown and rainbow trout in the ten to seventeen-inch range, with occasional catches exceeding twenty inches. Native mountain whitefish also provide exciting angling opportunities. The river boasts abundant insect hatches with tricos, salmonflies, caddis, PMDs, and various other aquatic flies enticing the trout. Late summer brings excellent hopper fishing, while streamer enthusiasts will find success with well-placed patterns. Throughout the trip, there will be opportunities to stop and fish from the shore in promising runs that cannot be overlooked.
