Our family of 4 went out this past week with Ray and Adam and had a great time. We were all novices and they were extremely patient, excellent teachers, and made the 4 hour experience one of the best days of our trip. I highly recommend booking with Aspen Outfitting Company! read more

Great experience with Aspen Outfitting company! They helped me try to navigate transportation without me having to ask, they were all welcoming and professional. Mal was a great guide and really knew when to step in and when to let me figure it out. We caught fish :) This is the place to go! read more

Mal was a great guide and teacher! Being newer to fly fishing I needed some good fundamentals taught to me. Their shop had a good assortment of stuff and I'll use Aspen Outfitting next time I'm in town! read more

Aspen Outfitting is without a doubt the go to place for any out adventure in Colorado! The two days of fly fishing were guided buy the most experienced and helpful fishing experts, that helped us brush up on our fly fishing skills to bring in some of the most beautiful trout the Roaring Fork river has to offer. While in Aspen, we also went on an all day pheasant hunting excursion guided by Aspen Outfitters. After a warm up shooting session, we had two hunts: one in the morning and another in the afternoon, with an amazing lunch in between. The guides, as well as the dogs, were very well versed in their jobs, leading us across the country side in search of pheasant. Aspen Outfitters allowed us to experience the outdoors like never before, taking home a great haul and stories that will last a life time! read more

Located inside of the St Regis hotel, Aspen Outfitting Co is an awesome fly fishing guide service. Trip catered to both of us, one with experience in fly fishing and one without. They use nice Simms waders and boots, and the little shop they have inside of the hotel is really nice. We had Tom as our guide. Honestly, after many guided trips around the world, I can honestly say he was the best guide we've had. He was super knowledgeable, provided great instruction, great attitude, catered to each of our experience levels, worked really hard to get us on fish, and actively changed flies and setups to match conditions. We each learned a ton, and couldn't have asked for a better trip. The shop was also really helpful giving us local info on what flies to buy to fish after the trip. Highly recommend this service, great trip. read more

Had a fantastic day on the Roaring Fork River with Aspen Outfitting Company. Our guide on the 1/2 day fishing adventure, Matt, was knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. The 4 hours with Matt were part fishing trip and part natural history lesson. It helped that we caught plenty of beautiful wild trout during our 4 hour outing. Can't wait to be a return customer on our next trip to Aspen. read more

Aspen Outfitting Company was really great and easy to work with. My guide Mal was outstanding!!! I caught my first fish within 20 minutes! I hooked 7 and landed 4. My fault not Mal's. Jared, back at the shop, was tremendous helping get everything setup and organized. I even got a free beer when I got back!! If you are in the area please give them a try. read more

What a great experience! I have been to Aspen many times and used this company for other activities but never for flyfishing. I started my day with an experienced guide, Lawrence, and he took me to Woody Creek to fish for trout! I loved that they put one guide with only one to two customers. Lawrence was patient and so knowledgeable. Loved his passion for fishing and the outdoors. He was so good at "reading" the fish so when they were feeding on top he would change gear and the same when they were feeding below. As you can see from the photos we had a very successful morning catching both brown trout and rainbow trout-good sizes too! Included a visit from a beautiful deer! What a great experience, highly recommend if you are looking for a great activity in Aspen!! read more

Thank you Aspen Outfitting my son and I had a great time Flyfishing with you yesterday. Cian is an amazing guide I highly recommend using him as he knows all of the great spots on the river. You are guaranteed to catch fish on every outing. See you guys in a few months. read more

My friends and I went fly fishing with Aspen Outfitting Company and we all really enjoyed ourselves! Honestly, none of us are really outdoorsy - or particularly talented when it comes to fishing - but that didn't matter in the slightest. The guides (Flynn, Ray and Pat) were all so great and taught us enough to make us feel confident in our (novice) skills. Huge shout out to Ray who stayed close, corrected my form, was so nice and was also super committed to ensuring I caught a fish - which I finally did on my own!! I had the best time and highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a fun experience while in Aspen! read more

Aspen Outfitting company is the bee-knees when it comes to fun outdoorsy things to do in Aspen, the fly fishing excursions are great for never-done-it beginners, after about 15 minutes of first instruction I had a 18" Rainbow on my hook! read more

Beautiful little boutique with really nice t-shirts and lots of flies for fishing. Shawn was extremely nice and showed us all the flies that "have had success" in this region at this time of the year. We left with a very nice assortment! Watch out fishies we are coming! He also took the time to let us know how to tie them in tandem etc. Highly recommend this boutique. Very nice hats made in Aspen at the back of the boutique. Make sure to pet Rex behind the counter, he is magnificent and really soft and sweet. read more

Had a great fly fishing morning with my guide Matt. He was an amazing teacher and a lot of fun to hang with. I highly recommend Aspen Outfitting Co. and I look forward to booking another trip with them. read more

This past weekend, our hotel in Aspen set us up with some skeet shooting in Basalt with Aspen Outfitting Company. Karl picked us up for a private day of shooting, and we had so much fun! We shoot a lot at home at our ranch in Texas, so we were expecting a more strict and by-the-book shooting experience here, but we got something just as laid back and relaxed as home. Karl trusted us with our previous shooting experience, helped us brush up on some of our "lazier" habits/techniques, and clarified the true rules of the game of skeet. We learned so much!! My husband and I had a blast (ha!) and will definitely be returning in the near future. read more

My family and I went Fly Fishing through Aspen Outfitting Company and had the most amazing time. Our guides, Matt and Tom, were so wonderful and taught us everything we needed to know. They were extremely patient since it was our first time fly fishing and that made all the difference. Matt and Tom took great care in picking a fantastic location and we all were able to catch some fish. I highly recommend them!!! read more

3 out of 4 of us had never shot clays before. By the 2nd hour everyone was breaking clays and we even discovered there was a skeet prodigy in our group, he was hitting everything lofted in the air. The morning trip started with a pickup on time at the hotel and we were driven about 25 minutes to the range. We received detailed instructions on safety and shooting, there were some white knuckles at first... but after everyone had fired a few shots things got fun. By lunchtime everyone was feeling a sense of accomplishment, good fun! read more

While walking in the St. Regis hotel, I noticed this fly shop was advertising winter fly fishing. I came to Aspen to ski, but was pleasantly surprised to learn that there is winter fly fishing available in March. I booked a half day in early March 2023 and had a wonderful and productive outing with my guide Mal. They provided all gear and clothing to make the day memorable and productive. Highly recommend and will fish with them again. read more

Amazing experience! Eric was super helpful at getting all of our activities set up! The shop was addictive and I think we bought something every time we went in! The best adventure was fly fishing with Flinn on private land. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area, what the fish are eating and when, and where to find them. She was very patient with us, as we were both 1st timers, and by the end we both had success catching fish! Subsequently we booked another afternoon and requested Flinn. We tried to get a third day but she was booked. Go fly fishing with Flinn!!! Aspen Outfitters is the best! read more

If you're looking for a place for Fly Fishing in Aspen, Co you can't go wrong with these guys! They are very hospitable and a lot of fun. My dad and I went with them and we were treating like Kings.

First time fly fishing and booked 4 hours with a guide. Flinn was assigned to our mom and daughter group. It was a perfect match. She was fun, knowledgeable and made sure the experience was rewarding. Of course one person in our party caught several fish first time out and we all celebrated. This was a terrific afternoon and I am looking forward to booking another afternoon soon. read more

Fished yesterday on the Roaring Fork with Mal. Outstanding day and expert, friendly and experienced guide service. Immediately got me on several nice rainbows. Highly recommend. read more

I recently took a Half Day Private River Trout fishing expedition with Mal Burks and it was phenomenal. My background is avid fisherman and hunting. When it comes to flyfishing however it's all foreign to me . I had two trips under my belt before this trip. I learned and progressed, but I still felt incompetent. However, that really changed with Mal guiding me I learned a wealth of knowledge and procedure and caught some really nice fish. I had a frat time it was pouring snow at the start of the trip but tapered off and got really nice. I highly recommend Mal and Aspen Outfitting. read more

I was able to spend a morning with an amazing guide named Matt. His patience with me, was unbelievable. First time fly fishing and first time in Aspen and the morning spent with him will be looked at as the highlight of my trip, without a doubt. He had some unique spots so we were all alone, he makes his own flys and he knows what these fish like. He was changing our approach constantly and I was landing trout the entire trip. If you like the outdoors and you have the time, fish with Matt, it's that simple. read more

Skied four days in a row so was looking to have a break. What a great day! Perfect day on the water with an awesome guide. I'm not a fly fisherman but after catching 5 and losing another 4 or 5 I can at least now say I've fly fished. Great operation, everyone couldn't have been nicer or more knowledgeable. To quote Arnold; I'll be back. read more

Seriously one of the best summer evenings I've had all season! Flinn, our fly fishing guide, was so thorough. She explained every step of the process with enthusiasm and grace. Thank you Aspen Outfitting Co. for providing such a remarkable experience! Can't wait to go fly fishing again "reel" soon! ;) read more

My husband and I absolutely loved our flyfishing trip with Tom while visiting Aspen. The entire morning was lovely. Tom was very knowledgable, friendly, patient and encouraging. He did a great job attending to my husband, who has flyfished before, and myself, with zero experience. He took us to some public land and to private areas where there were no other fishermen in sight. We would highly recommend this company and Tom. read more

AOC is such an amazing company to use for all of your fly fishing needs! We had the best day on the river with Ray and caught several fish! He is so knowledgeable about the art of fly fishing and makes it so fun and laid back. He was able to teach my wife and I the basics about fly fishing and now we are hooked! Highly recommend doing a 4 hour trip with these guys. The scenery is breathtaking and the fishing is such an exciting adventure! read more

Booked a horseback riding trip three weeks in advance with Aspen Outfitting Company. Received an email confirmation immediately, multiple email confirmations before our ride date as well as a phone call confirmation on the morning of our ride. Transportation was arranged and when we got to the site (they outsource their trips) we discovered they dropped the ball and never followed through having our horses or guide arranged. We had no cellular service and had to hike for service to call them. We called for over an hour and went to voicemail every time. What a disappointment as this was our #1 thing to do in Aspen and had other activities booked and paid for the remaining days while there. Fortunately, while at the trailhead, we met another outfitting company that booked a same day afternoon trip for us and they bent over backwards to help us. We went from $800+ through Aspen Outfitting down to $350 by booking directly. Do your research and book direct. Aspen Outfitters offered no excuses other than screwing up. Cut out the middleman and book direct!!! BTW...our money was supposedly refunded 4 days ago but our credit card statement still doesn't reflect the credit. Hopefully not another oversight. read more

Karl was a terrific shooting guide both for skeet and pistols. We had a complete beginner, someone proficient and me in the middle, and he is adept at teaching all levels. Very good individual instruction. read more

Unbelievable experience with Aspen Outfitting. First class trip, one guide for me and my wife, he was awesome. Great teacher, took us to the right place. Equipment provided was top notch. It was a private experience and team was just great. I couldn't more highly recommend this company. If fly fishing on Aspen, this is your crew. read more

While visiting Aspen, my husband and I decided to give fly fishing a go. We met Jarrod at the St Regis hotel, who told us all about the experience. Within minutes we were sold, it sounded like a blast. A few days after, we met up with Matt, our guide, and went to the Roaring Fork River to fish for some trout. Fly fishing was so much more challenging than we had anticipated, but it was a blast. Such a fun and unique experience. Matt was also incredible. He was so friendly and knowledgable. We learned an immense amount not only about fly fishing from him, but about Colorado in general. We cannot say enough good things about Aspen Outfitting Company. Fly fishing is a must for anyone looking for some fun when visiting Aspen! read more

Great day on the river with Carl. Been fishing with Carl and AOC for a number of years and always enjoy myself.

I simply had the best time my FIRST time fly-fishing! A bit about me, I'm a Dallas attorney, and quite the city-slicker, but my guide, Tom, made me feel quite at ease and totally didn't judge me when the Aspen altitude (or my lack of fitness) prompted me to take break. The place is super convenient located at the St. Regis hotel. The whole experience is first-class. They checked to make sure my boots and waders fit before we left, and they answered all my questions. A short ride later, we got to where we wanted to be, and my guide made sure I felt comfortable and safe. We fished, watched the river rafters go by, enjoyed the scenery, and had a great time. We caught a fish together (!), but that was just one of the fun parts of the day. I recommend working with Aspen Outfitting without reservation. They are the real deal, and from beginner to advanced, they make sure you have a great time in the gorgeous Aspen mountains. I can't wait to go back. KK read more

Karl was the best at teaching us. First time shooting clay and it was such a fun/great time. The lesson progressed from basic rules, sight picture on paper targets. The training exercises Karl put us through were really helpful. From paper targets, we then went to single clay, then double. While it was pricey, Karl was able to give us one on one feedback after every shot. That attention to detail made it worth it. It was a great day and a great way to find a new hobby. read more

Highly recommend! It was my first time fly fishing and the team was knowledgeable, patient, laid back and fun. Gear and details are organized and supplied so you just need to show up ready for a good time. I look forward to fishing with the Aspen Outfitting Co team again! read more

Absolutely great day fly fishing with Mal! I recommend this place for beginners to experts, great guys and tons of local knowledge.
