COVID-19 Update

With the lifting of COVID restrictions, we have resumed guided trips in compliance with all city, county and state guidelines. To ensure the safety of our clients and guides, all equipment will be sanitized between use and the use of gaiters (provided by Pocketwater) will be required while in close proximity to each other. We also ask that clients not participate in trips if they have had recent COVID-19 symptoms or exposure.

Thanks to everyone for your patience throughout these unprecedented times. Your continued support is greatly appreciated! Should you have any questions or concerns about an upcoming or pending reservation, please let us know. As always, your safety is our top priority!

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.

Our Philosophy

Pocketwater strongly promotes wildlife conservation and the preservation of our lands. We teach the safe handling of fish, adhere to catch and release practices and leave no trace principles. We also participate in the Kick Plastic campaign, removing plastic products from our daily operations.
