Dragonfly Anglers

Established in 1983, Dragonfly Anglers has guided fly fishermen through the Gunnison and Crested Butte area long before it became a seasonal trend. The downtown shop stocks terminal tackle, sun and insect protection clothing, flies, field guides, novels, t-shirts, and unique gifts. An online store extends these offerings to customers beyond the valley. The guiding team consists of year-round residents who tailor trips to local conditions, ensuring success on the water. With 43 seasons of operation by 2026, the business highlights the variety and protection of local waters as key to its longevity. Clients appreciate the guides' deep river knowledge, patience with varying skill levels, and ability to secure catches like large rainbows and browns. The shop serves as a central hub for both equipment and expert instruction in Western Slope fly fishing.
