Full Day Float Trip
The full-day float is our most popular fly fishing trip during the summer and fall seasons. We offer the option to float three of Colorado’s best trout streams – the Eagle, Roaring Fork and Colorado rivers. This allows our guides to always go where the fishing is best and to accommodate the personal preferences of our clients. This float trip is ideal for both expert anglers looking for a new challenge, and beginners who will benefit from getting closer to the fish. In a single day, anglers are able to take advantage of covering many miles of scenic water that is not accessible by wading.
With plenty of room for two anglers and their gear, all of our float boats are either dory-style drift boats or rubber rafts designed specifically for fly fishing. Full-day float trips provide you with more than six hours of fishing time on the water
