What Our Clients Are Saying
Guided Fly Fishing Testimonials
“Our guide hiked us into a beautiful creek where I learned the practical and patient practice of high sticking. I landed 12-15 wild brown, rainbow, and brook trout within a few hours. It was an extremely rewarding day. Our guide did an extraordinary job of speaking and instructing to our level.“
"Definitely worth it! I took my two younger kids out to get them some real life experience away from their video games and they had such a good time that the 9 year old wants to have his birthday party there next year.... The weather was perfect and the fishing was surreal. The gear they got to use was really nice (nicer than mine, i went shopping when i got home), and the instruction they got was really good. we mainly caught brooks and a couple browns. Looking forward to our next trip."
“It is always a good time fishing in the mountains – whether you catch a fish or not! Luckily with the guides there is a very good chance you will get a fish along with the unforgettable journey and views along the way. Never a bad day by the river!”
"This was a dream come true for me! As a first time female fly angler, I was a little nervous about what to expect. Booking the trip was easy. I got confirmation emails and reminders. They were friendly and helpful when I booked the trip. I couldn’t have picked a better guide than Amy. She was so easy to be around, taught me a lot, and put me on the fish! We had a blast. I highly recommend her and Telluride Fly Fishers."
"My husband and I went fly fishing with Goose today. I had never been although my husband has, and we both had a phenomenal experience. Next time we would love to bring our kids. Goose was a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and fun guide and he took us to the most majestic spots. We recommend, wholeheartedly."
