Fly Fishing Outfitters

Established in 1992, Fly Fishing Outfitters has served the Vail Valley as its oldest guide service, operating from a retail location in Avon’s Westgate Plaza. The business functions as both a comprehensive fly shop and a year-round guiding operation, specializing in matching anglers of all skill levels with professional guides for safe, fun days on the river. Beyond guided trips, the company hosts educational programs, including Colorado One- and Two-Day Schools for anglers seeking to become self-sufficient, and a five-day Guide School that has launched professional careers since 1994. The retail side stocks a wide range of fly fishing gear for novices to experts, with free shipping available on online orders over $200. Fly Fishing Outfitters holds the distinction of being a two-time winner of the Orvis Endorsed Outfitter of the Year award.
