Here is a copy of my Facebook post, "On day one of our annual summer trip to Breckenridge, Colorado…read morelast week, I watched fly fishermen on the Blue River in Silverthorne. One guy who really caught my eye was Frank Orten, as he patiently worked with three beginner fly fishermen. When he exited the water, I asked him if he was a guide and he replied that he was. I told him I loved his patience and asked if he could work with my daughter Sasha and her daughter, my granddaughter, Audie. We met at the Blue River three days later, and he asked of the three of us how he wanted me to divide his time. I told him 80% with my granddaughter and 20% with my daughter. I told him I could fend for myself. My objective was simple; I want Audie to love the outdoors and hopefully develop an interest in fly fishing. I'll provide a link in the comments below to our wonderful guide. He comes with my highest praise, and I've worked with a lot of guides."

We signed up with Blue Quill for a day out in Chessman Canyon to hike and learn the basics of fly fishing. It was like all the reviews here say an amazing experience and we all agree we would do it again--kinda hooked on it however, what we want everyone to know is the professionalism of the people who are your guides. Mid-morning across the river we could see that a family was in trouble. Our guides--Chris and Cam--sprinted across the river to provide assistance. A angler was having a diabetic episode. They sprinted back to grab food supplies, check in with us and then back. There's a lot more to this story, a lot more, but the point we want everyone to know is this: when you are out of reach for the day in a situation that could take a turn for the worst you have to trust your guides. We could not have been in better hands than with the entire staff at Blue Quill.

Amazing fly fishing on the Colorado River near Granby, Colorado! Chris made this trip so much fun…read more This is our third time going out with Chris and he makes each time unique and ensures we both have a great time. Highly recommend Chris as a guide no matter how skilled at fly fishing you are. My husband is out to catch as many and as large fish as he can. I, on the other hand, focus on perfecting my not so excellent cast and not going for a swim in the process. Chris does an excellent job of ensuring we are both having fun. Ladies, if you are looking for a guide that will help hone your skills and make sure you are comfortable along the way, Chris is your guy!

Bring your friends, wife, kids.. I HIGHLY recommend Mile High Angler!! Hope to see you soon Chris! BTW, I also enjoyed getting to brag about all my big catches back in Texas!!

This isn't a "river runs through it" fly fishing adventure unless you are a pro so get ready to flip it close to the raft. Perfect for family and first-time outings. While we didn't catch a lot of fish the scenic view is spectacular and worth the float alone. Our guide was encouraging and supportive and did his best to put us in a position to catch fish. What a great day on the water, can't go wrong.

If you're in any way interested in sailing, I highly recommend the ASA 101-103 combo. Once you're on the water, you'll never want to stop! Also, as I took courses with them during the COVID 19 pandemic, it's important to point out the incredible level of professionalism and responsibility from their instructors. Always masked, always making sure students were masked, etc. If you thought you were doomed to a life off the water here in landlocked Colorado, look no further!

Check into these guys for sure. Last December I joined them for the annual ski trip to Steamboat Colorado. This trip has been happening for over 10 years at this point and I finally decided I would go and check things out for myself. I can honestly say I had a blast. I met a ton of people and although I am not a skier I was welcomed with open arms by all several hundred people who joined in the fun as well. I've never traveled with a large group of people so this was a whole new experience for me. I was fortunate through happy hours and gatherings prior to have met some great people and decided on my roommates in advance so we could sign up together. The price for me as a Non Skier was fantastic to be honest. You can plan your trip to suit your specific schedule over about a 7 days span if you wish. We all decided to go for 4 days. Depending on your group size or your specific needs there are several places you can get accommodations. We had a great condo with some really fun upstairs neighbors who were also on the trip. There are plenty of activities planned if you want to partake or you can just do your own thing with a few or a lot of people. A lot of the organizers for events are volunteer so I was also hijacked by a few friends to help out with the Saturday night Pub crawl through town. The great thing about it was, we were so welcomed by the locals and Outdoors Co has set up shuttles to pick us up at the last stop so none of that pesky worrying about how to get back or any of the other things that could happen as a result of a festive nights pub crawl. Looks like dates for this years trip have already been posted. Still trying to decided between winter or spring vacation. I have heard rumor of some new trips to warmer climates being added this year.
