Water conditions in the Vail Valley were rough this summer, and instead of following the pack to overfished water, Brian custom built our day to put us in the best possible spot. His knowledge of the river is next level, and his coaching turned what could have been a tough day into an unforgettable one. I walked away a noticeably better angler. Communication before and after the trip was outstanding, with no detail overlooked. Brian isn't just a guide, he's a friend for life at this point, and I'll be booking with him wherever he ends up guiding for years to come. Ten out of ten, trip of a lifetime.

He's not afraid to get you where the fish are and teaches you from start to finish. Another great thing is he's always taking tons of pics to document your day. I like to stay at the Inn at Riverwalk in Edwards and asked Dave to teach me the spots and rigs so that I could do some solo fishing. There are great fish between the two bridges. Have Dave take you out. He's one of the best.

I wasn't looking for a guided trip, I just needed a rod/reel and some waders. Minturn Anglers was the place for me. I basically told them I was completely new to mountain fly fishing and to set me up as if they were going out that day. And for around $100 I had everything I needed for a day of fishing. They had all sorts of equipment and thousands of flies to choose from as well as a knowledgeable staff who knew what was working at any given time. If you're staying anywhere in the Vail Valley and you want to go fishing, you'll want to go to Minturn Anglers.

The Eagle and Colorado Rivers are optimum choices for this part of the state. If you're feeling a little more adventurous, opt for something toward Flat Tops Wilderness. Closer to Vail, you might try for brookies on the little creeks of the west slope of the Gores. Good service, plenty of quality flies (I don't understand the supposed art of making your own), experienced and knowledgeable staff. Remember to tip well when your adventure ends.
