We were lucky enough to have a few gentlemen in town with the sole intention of fly fishing the Vail Valley during the off-season, enjoying the down time and getting away from home for a few days. They picked a good time to be in town as the Eagle River was experiencing some really strong […]
Mid-May has been really good on the Eagle River in the Vail Valley. You are in luck if you are a patient fisherman who can make tight, accurate casts and fight fish in heavy currents on light tippets. On a family trip, a few fun gentlemen took the time to squeeze in some fly fishing […]
Erin and Finn came to town for one day and one night with one thing in mind. Finn wanted to fly fish with his mom for Mother's Day. Both mom and son live in Texas, and Finn loves nothing more than to catch fish on the fly between his multiple baseball seasons. Though the trout […]
With the ladies enjoying their time poking and shopping around off-season Vail and Beaver Creek, this father-son duo snuck down to the Eagle River to test their West Coast trout skills on a beautiful Central Rockies stream. Though tighter casting than they were used to, these Oregon natives managed to trick a fair amount of […]
With unpredictable weather but a small window to fish before run-off really gets started, Eagle River Outfitter (ERO) client Rene and I snuck in a mid-day wade trip on the Eagle River in Avon/Beaver Creek. The Eagle continues to rise but the visibility is still holding on. Rene has been fishing with us for a […]
Boy, is the Eagle River in great shape right now. Though rising daily, the clarity is still great in the upper stretches and the bugs are coming off in great numbers. I had two gentlemen in town who love coming to the Vail ski area after the mountain closes so they can get good hotel […]
With a last minute cancellation, the wife and I decided to try the Eagle River right in our hometown of Eagle, CO. We had taken the kiddo and dog to the Fairgrounds to push the stroller and get outside last weekend and the river was still too muddy to fish. Thanks to some cold days […]
Afternoon fishing is still the way to go. I was lucky enough to have a single client booked for the afternoon with lots of previous experience, and to top it off there were no other anglers on the river on a Saturday! I don’t blame anyone because the weather was extremely unpredictable. We had everything […]
I had a quick meeting with the ownership and management of Aspen Outfitting Company (AOC) today, and "the meeting ran a little long," aka I had to get some fishing in before coming back to Eagle and caring for my kiddo and giving my wife a break back home in the Vail Valley. With only […]
Three of our guides had the pleasure of taking out some long tenured repeat clients on a mid-day excursion on the Eagle River. They always book this time of year and it’s normally to their benefit. Spring or late winter fishing, whatever you want to call it is always different in the Vail Valley. Today […]
