Crested Butte Angler: Fly Fishing Guides for the Gunnison River Drainage, Fly Shop, & Outdoor Store

Guided fly fishing trips on the Gunnison River form the core of our operation, offering float and wade options that have been serving anglers since 2009. Operating from historic downtown Crested Butte, we provide half-day and full-day excursions on the Gunnison River, Taylor River, Blue Mesa, and the Gunnison Gorge. Our guides are professional, fully insured, bonded, and permitted by the State of Colorado, BLM, NPS, and USFS. We cater to all levels, from family and kid trips to corporate outings, with private water options available. Float trips include professional guides, flies, terminal tackle, rods, reels, water, and transportation back to your vehicle. We also operate a comprehensive fly shop and outdoor store carrying brands such as Orvis, Hatch, Costa, TFO, Nautilus, Rio, Shilton Reels, Hareline Fly Tying, Umpqua, YETI, Scientific Anglers, Freefly, Solitude, Derek DeYoung, Columbia, and NRS. Our shop offers friendly service and helpful advice for women, men, and kids. We are currently taking reservations for the 2026 season, and our guides are highly requested.
