    My husband and I went for the free fly casting lesson at Blue Quill Angler. Our guide was Adam and…read morehe was great! We have some fly fishing experience and he helped us figure out how to improve our casts and gave us great tips to remember his suggestions. It was worth the time! We will go back for a fly fishing trip!

    Always up for an adventure this year's girl trip was to Evergreen, Colorado and a day of flying…read morefishing. 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.

    If you're looking for a guided fly fishing trip, THIS is the place. Sam Kinney was the most…read morepatient, knowledgeable and fun teacher we could have asked for. Not only did we catch trout ALL DAY with his guidance, he taught us a lot of techniques and coached us through the mistakes we made. It was the perfect trip for getting started with this hobby. The week of our trip there was a lot of rain that effected some of the fishing locations but Sam was very communicative about finding the best spot for the rainy circumstances. He gave us a few different options of where we could fish and we ultimately went with his recommendation which was fishing the rivers in Silverthorne. We got even more out of it than expected. Thank you Trouts, and Sam for an amazing experience!

    My wife and I decided somewhat last minute to book a half day guided trip with the Trouts shop out…read moreof Frisco. We are new to fly fishing and had only had a couple hours of instruction prior to this trip. We did have most of our own gear, but I needed waders and boots. They have a very good rental fleet of waders (Simms G3) and boots, so you weren't wearing cheap gear, which was nice. We met up with our guide Ryan first thing in the morning at the shop and decided to fish the Blue just north of Silverthorne and in town. We had a blast with Ryan! We were looking for more of an educational trip, as well as hoping to get on some fish. Ryan was great in explaining how to read the river and present the fly in the best way as well as different knot methods which we didn't know before. He didn't get into super technical casting methods, it was more about getting the fly where you wanted it and then presenting it so hopefully the fish would take it. You could tell Ryan was super passionate about fishing and helping people out. We had a blast. The best part of the day was that my wife caught her first fish ever and now she is really "hooked". I can't thank Ryan and the other shop guys enough for a great day.

    As an east coast resident, words cannot convey how cool this place is. I literally could stop right…read morethere and my review would be over, but Yelp likes whole essays about shtuff. I've been to a lot of places around the globe. More than most people my age could ever hope for, but this place is new to me. In my one visit to this store I rode a Ferris wheel, played bowling, and browsed the largest arsenal of firearms I've ever seen. That alone made my day, but I'm not done yet. This place has more bikes and skateboards than Alpine Ski Shop. Their camping section is larger than Dick's and Cabela's combined. The clothing department is chock full of everything that one would want to pull over their skin. I haven't even mentioned that their prices are average to cheap! Heck, even the employees are kind and helpful!There's literally nothing I can complain about, because I've never experienced anything that compares to Scheels. I literally cried when I walked into this place, because it fulfilled everything my hopes and dreams could possibly muster. I love being critical to mega corporations, and I thought they might have a fascist CEO or something, but that's where it really gets crazy. Scheels is 100% employee owned, meaning DEMOCRACY BABY!!! I barely edited this review, so if you see something weird, I honestly don't care. Moral of the story is that I'm flabbergasted beyond belief.

    OMG they have everything. If you need anything sports…read morerelated or not, checkout Scheels. We are visiting from New Mexico and stopped by Scheels. Our son went to one in Pittsburgh and said it was a megastore. He was not kidding. Any sport related product you may need, they have it. Equipment clothes shoes accessories. Everything. They have products at the higher end as well as more midrange. Prices are appropriate. We talked to several staff in different areas and all were extremely helpful. Don't forgot check out the arcade, cafe, candy shop, bowling alley, shooting gallery, aquarium and Farris wheel. It's a family adventure
