8-hour, 6-hour, 4-hour trip?
A 4-hour trip usually seems to go by faster than you'd like. Especially for
beginners, we highly recommend 6- or 8-hour trips. You'll have more time to
learn, fish, enjoy the surroundings, and savor the experience.
How Many and How Old?
Parties of one, two or three anglers are assigned one guide. Unless all clients
are experienced anglers, we suggest that you book no more than two clients per
guide. There are always exceptions, but a client should be at least 12 years
old. There is no maximum age limit!

Kid's
Programs!
Please ask about our
Kid's Fishing Programs. Kid's learn about knots, bugs, flies, trout, water and
fly casting while parents enjoy a guided trip. Great fun for the whole family!

What
Happens and Where?
Beginners
learn fly fishing basics. Intermediate and advanced anglers sharpen their
skills. Destinations are in or near Rocky Mountain National Park,
catch-and-release only. Private water, back-packing and horseback trips are also
available.

Basic
Terms and Conditions
|
All
trips require a 50% deposit, with balance due on or before departure. |
|
Estes
Angler must receive any notice of cancellation at least 24 hours before a
scheduled Regular trip (at least 48 hours before a Horseback, backpack or
private water trip); otherwise, deposits are forfeited. |
|
You'll
also pay for any trout flies that you use or lose. They generally cost less
than $2 apiece. |
|
Guides
gladly accept gratuities. (Folks often ask for guidelines on tipping.
We encourage you to think as you would when dining in a fine restaurant.
When you're happy with the service and what you get, consider a 20+% tip; if
things are pretty good, a 15% tip; if not to your liking, consider less. The
tip is up to you!) |
|
Less Time, More Time, Your Time
A guided trip begins at your scheduled departure time and ends when you return
to the shop. If your trip is cut short, we'll gladly refund your costs based on
an hourly rate. If you and your guide agree to extend a trip, you'll be billed
for extra time, also on an hourly rate - unless your guide calls for a bit of
extra fishing at no charge.
If you're on a tight schedule and must return by
an appointed hour, please let us know. You'll find that both you and your guide
lose track of time too easily while fly fishing!
