"My wife and I had a great day on the river with Riley on August 17. We did a 6-hour trip in a drift boat on the Colorado River. Riley was patient and professional, and was fun to spend the day with. Riley knows the river like the back of his hand and was a master at manuevering the boat to just the right spot. Riley provided a personal touch too - this trip was a birthday gift for Cathleen from me and our sons, and darned if Riley didn't include some birthday cake with our lunch! We caught fish, learned a lot, and had an outstanding day outdoors. I would highly recommend Riley as a guide and Fraser Fly Shop in general!"

"We had a terrific day on the water with Jessie. His knowledge is extensive, and he shared it freely. Not only did we catch a lot of fish, more importantly, we learned how to be better fishermen. Jessie taught us a lot about proper knot tying and even local nature. Jessie has an engaging personality, easily meeting and guaranteeing his clients have a memorable trip. Watching him use a fly rod is poetry in motion. Next time we are in town we’ll give Jessie a call. I would recommend him to a fly fisher, whether experienced or total novice. He has that rare ability to understand the client’s level of expertise and teach appropriately, all while making the client comfortable in the process. Highly recommended for a great day on the water!"
"I work at a fly shop in Glenwood Springs: Roaring Fork Anglers and Alpine Anglers. I went to this shop while in Winter Park - It is legit and Randy was super cool and helpful. They have tons of merchandise and tying material. Definitely a great shop to frequent"
"We fished with Josh Frank on the Colorado River and had a great day. Josh is a great guide, fun, patient and provided plenty of opportunities to catch fish. We highly recommend Josh if you’re looking for guided fishing trip. You’ll have a great day, catch fish, and learn something new along the way."
"I’m not very experienced when it comes to fishing gear, but Scott was incredibly helpful and patient. He took the time to explain things and helped me pick out the right spinners for what I needed. It’s a great little shop with a welcoming feel — highly recommend for beginners and experienced anglers alike!"
