“Good morning. Just a quick note to let you know what a great time I had on Sunday with VVA guide Andy "Otter" Smith. My wife set up a float trip for my birthday and we both went though she didn't fish. The experience was a great way to spend my 40th birthday. Otter knows his stuff and was very helpful not only with putting us on fish that day but also with tips and techniques that I can use moving forward with my fishing. My thanks to both VVA and to Otter for a great day on the river. We'll be back!

“Steve and I had a great float trip on Saturday with Bryant Compton. He put us on fish immediately. We learned a lot about the rigging, what areas to target, and the types of flies for the water in that area. The fishing during a brief rain shower was crazy, just like he said it would be. I would highly recommend him to anyone wishing to float the Colorado in that area. Great day on the water.”

I wanted to extend my gratefulness in how impressed i was with your guides and your company. My brother was visiting from Canada, he is 35 years old, has advanced MS and walks with a cane. Your guide insured my brother was comfortable, educated him on the fly rod and the technique and worked with him for several hours in the river. Catching a brown was a bonus to the actual experience my brother had. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Wishing your company absolute success. Kudos to your team and staff for your professionalism.”

“Great morning fishing the Eagle River with Greg Harvey as our guide. Hooked over half a dozen fish. Two nice large 15 inch rainbows and a bunch of nice brown trout. If you want to catch fish, ask for Greg.”

“Had to write to tell you I had my best fishing day ever on the Colorado with Bryant today. I can't even begin to describe it. Awesome. I'll never forget it. He is a great guide on all levels. Thank you Vail Valley Anglers!”
