Our Approach

The best way to enjoy Colorado is to get out in it! Our guides will introduce you to some of the most beautiful waters throughout the state. Whether they be private or simply removed from the beaten path, we believe that avoiding the crowds will enhance your overall experience. Fly fishing is more than just catching fish - it's the experience of nature and solitude, both of which make up the fundamentals of Pocketwater!

For those just learning the sport, don't worry! We'll teach you the basics of fly rods, reels, fly lines, leaders, tippet, knots, basic fly casting, reading the water, entomology, stream etiquette, safe handling of fish and other miscellaneous tactics and gear. Instruction is always tailored to our guests and can occur as part of a guided trip or at any permitted public location.
