Three Person Wade Trips (San Juan, Animas and streams in Colorado)

If you have an odd number of anglers in your group we recommend booking an additional guide. This is to help insure each angler receives the most attention possible and opens up more float and wade options, helping to get you and your group into the best fishing situation possible. If you have an extra angler in your group, and you do not want to add an extra guide to the trip the guide fee is an additional $175 for the day. Float trips require 1 or 2 guests per boat.

Where We Meet and the Fishing Day

Colorado trips meet in Durango, Cortez, Creede, Aztec, Navajo Dam, South Fork, Dolores or Pagosa Springs depending on the trip and fishing location. Full day trips are 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 hours long and half day trips are 4 hours. Short full days are also available for those with different needs and the occasional special situation.
