Disco "Fish"cuits - Fly Fishing the Poudre River above Mishawaka between the Disco Biscuits 9/8/24

After a killer second show of The Disco Biscuits' Colorado run at Dillon Amphitheatre in Dillon, CO, I headed east outside of Fort Collins for two nights of The Disco Biscuits at Mishawaka Amphitheatre in Bellvue, CO. Ironically enough, this live music fan got to attend his concerts right on the Poudre River in Poudre […]

Eagle River Fly Fishing Report 8/6/24 - Here comes the mud!

Eagle River fly fishing is still good this summer thanks to these lovely Vail and Beaver Creek thunderstorms! We've had a good bit of moisture this week that has helped exponentially with our rivers getting lower and warming up.

Gore Creek Fishing Report 8/4/24 - Thin flows but munching trout!

Gore Creek is underrated. This lovely little gem nestled in the center of Vail proper is a small creek fisherman's delight. With big and small fish throughout, Gore Creek is a great spot to test your pro tiny stream tactics and take inexperienced guests alike. The Gore can be covered quickly or slowly depending on […]

Eagle River Fly Fishing Report 7/31/24 - Big fish eating in Wolcott

As the major bugs of the Summer start to get faint on the Eagle River, the fish and the Vail guides continue to find alternatives. Yellow sallies, PMDs, and large caddis are definitely becoming a smaller part of the menu as tiny caddis and baetis seem to be grabbing the attention of the trout on […]

Eagle River Fishing Report - Beaver Creek 4-20-24

A cloudless day that quickly changed had the fish excited on 4/20. As the weather rolled in, the fishing picked up as well as the afternoon winds. A 10am start was ideal for the Eagle River in Avon/Beaver Creek today as we walked right up to sipping trout on the surface, eating microscopic midges. We […]

With a high of 43 degrees on the day, Dave, Walker and their clients bundled up and braved the cold for some early Spring trout fishing on the Eagle River in Beaver Creek/Avon (Vail Valley corridor). With less than optimal clarity in the lower Eagle River due to Milk and Alkali Creeks dumping in sediment […]
