First time fly fishing, so we did the Never Ever package and had a blast! Don was an awesome guide and got us coached up and fishing quickly. Was hoping just to learn the basics and maybe catch a couple fish, but the trip exceeded my expectations as we caught a lot of rainbow trout! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to give fly fishing a shot while in the BV area.

This place is just as cool as the people that work there. These guys have everything and have turned me on to so many fish it’s unreal. Very knowledgeable and have no issues helping you land your next memory.

Their fly bins are always full and have the most impressive stone nymph selection I have ever seen. Their tying materials carried makes me drive from summit county to this shop when I'm looking for something special as they almost always have it in stock. All of their staff is friendly and very knowledgeable when getting you on the vice or the water!
