Hear From Our Past Hikers

				My dad and I did a guided fishing trip with Tyler and it was the perfect way to spend the morning. Kirk’s was super easy to schedule/work with and Tyler was an excellent guide- he was super knowledgeable and was able to accommodate different ability levels in a way that made sure everyone was able to have a great time and walk away with some solid memories. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get out there and fish.

				We had an amazing time fly fishing! We were first time fly fishers and Luke did an excellent job as our guide! He was thorough and patient as he helped us learn. The wind was tough, especially for newbies, and although I didn’t catch a fish (my friend did catch several),  the overall experience was fun and memorable! Would definitely recommend using Kirk’s for your fly fishing adventure!  Thanks for an awesome time!

				When you do something for the first time, you really want that perfect guide that will allow you to enjoy the day and make you want to come back for more. Kent was that perfect guide for our family's first try at fly fishing. He was very patient and worked with each of us to help us gain the skills required for fly fishing.

				What an amazing day!  We had Andy as our guide, who was fantastic.  Andy knew the area and was quick to switch out flies if the fish weren't hitting to something else, that typically would get a bite or two.  We had a blast and Andy facilitated a great trip for my dad's 70th birthday. I will certainly go through Kirks Flyshop again for another trip.

				I booked a fly fishing trip for my husband, sons, and grandson.   They went with Stephen and Andrew, and came home with so many great things to say about the two of them. They caught plenty of fish (some big ones!) and enjoyed the time on the water together.  They will definitely do another outing in the future!

				Great friendly people, my wife and I had a great time fishing,  we caught plenty of trout. Kyle,  our fishing guide was a great guide and very informative.  We enjoyed fishing and telling stories of past adventures.  Great meeting a native Texan who is now living in a Colorado dream. Go ask for KYLE for your fishing trip!!!  Thanks from: Kami & Curtis Williams

				We had such a great time on our guided tour with Lucas and Robbie! We had 5 people in our group so we booked a two person and three person guided trip, but we were all able to go together for a 4 hour tour.  We fished in Rocky Mountain National park. The waders, boots, poles, and all the gear were in great condition and we stayed dry! It was a wonderful experience and we look forward to coming back for another trip!

				My mom and I had an amazing day fishing with Stephen! Stephen was very kind, knowledgeable, and patient and took us to a great spot on the river for our 8-hour trip. We really enjoyed talking to him and caught tons of beautiful Rainbows and Browns thanks to his expertise. Highly recommend him as a guide and we hope to be back soon!

				I had the best experience hiking with my guide John in Rocky Mountain National Park. I had a couple of days alone in CO before meeting up with a friend and this experience was just what I was looking for. John was so fun, knowledgeable and I felt safe in the mountains! It was a great experience exploring this beautiful part of CO. Highly recommend and would love to try fly fishing next time.

Curious and Social Sidekicks: Llamas are known for their inquisitive nature and strong social bonds.
Naturally Eco-Friendly: Llamas are gentle on the land and have a lower ecological impact compared to traditional pack animals due to their soft-padded feet that cause minimal soil erosion.
