Vail isn’t just about skiing—this valley is also a fly-fishing haven. With the Eagle River winding through town, plus Gore Creek and the mighty Colorado River nearby, you’ve got access to some of Colorado’s best trout water. Crystal-clear streams, alpine backdrops, and hungry rainbows and browns—it’s no wonder fly anglers return here year after year.

If you’re short on time, the Half Day Walk and Wade Fly Fishing Trip is the easiest way to jump in. Local guides, who prioritize your safety, provide the gear, handle the knots, and take you straight to the best pools. It’s beginner-friendly, family-approved, and a great fit if you only have a morning or afternoon free.

Want to stretch the day? A Full-Day Float Trip on the Colorado River not only gives you more water to cover and often the chance at bigger fish, but also offers a serene and picturesque journey. These trips are slower-paced and scenic, perfect for couples or groups who want a full-day mountain escape.

For those who want a more tailored experience, our Private Guided Trip offers one-on-one coaching and access to hidden stretches of water. These exclusive trips fill quickly during peak summer and fall, when the rivers run clear and the fish are most active.

Every tour here is chosen by our local team—people who actually fish these rivers year-round. We’ve tested the guides, compared guest feedback, and picked the trips that consistently deliver value, scenery, and success. Whether you’re casting for your very first trout or hunting trophy browns, Vail’s rivers are ready for you.
