THE GUIDE

An experienced guide and a boat for a full-day float

Every trip includes a boat and an experienced guide to run the float and fish with you, so the day is spent fishing rather than worrying about logistics.

Hookers supplies premium fly rods and a selection of flies—come prepared to cast and land fish without hauling a full kit.

A long day of fishing—plenty of trout and plenty of laughs

The trip is intended for anglers who revel in fishing from sunup to sundown and promises a full day on the water with abundant opportunities to cast for trout.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

Expect a slow, deliberate day afloat: launch with your guide in the morning, spend the bulk of the eight-hour float fishing stretches of water selected for trout, and move with the light and the fish. The rhythm is cast, drift, and wait—broken by the occasional rush of a strike and shared laughter—backed by the comfort of professional guidance and supplied rods and flies.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this float suits—and who should think twice.

1
Dedicated AnglersAn ideal match: the trip is intended for anglers who want to fish from sunup to sundown and provides a guide and premium fly gear to keep you casting all day.
2
Novice AnglersAccessible to newer fly fishers because rods, flies and an experienced guide are provided, but expect a full eight-hour day of fishing that rewards stamina and patience.
3
Families with Young ChildrenNot ideal as a short family outing—this is a long day on the water, and customers over age 16 require a Colorado fishing license, so plan accordingly for younger participants.
4
Groups Who Want to Relax and SocializeA good option for groups who want a relaxed day afloat with the option to bring snacks and beverages (alcohol is allowed), though the focus remains on fishing throughout the eight-hour trip.
