Guided Fly Fishing Trips

Why choose Ski & Bow Rack for your guided fishing trip?

  • Expert Local Guides: No commuters here. All our fly fishing guides live right here in Pagosa Springs, and they know our local waters intimately because they fish them every single day.
  • Exclusive Private Waters: We partner with local landowners to offer exclusive access to some of Pagosa’s best private waters, including trophy stillwater fisheries and more than five miles of the upper San Juan River.
  • Public Water for Every Angler: In Pagosa, “public” does not mean crowded. The largest wilderness in Colorado is right out our back door and features everything from larger rivers to tiny creeks to high alpine lakes. Whether you’re looking for a deep backcountry experience or you’d prefer to stay a bit closer to the car, we can build a trip just for you.
  • All-Inclusive Packages: Our guide trips include everything you need to fish free of additional charges: rods, reels, flies, waders, boots – even lunch on full day outings. All you need is a fishing license and you’re ready to go!
  • Epic Adventure Trips: Looking for something more adventurous than your typical guide trip? This option is just for you. We specialize in finding exceptional fishing in hard-to-reach places that make other guides say “It’s just too far.”

What Our Clients Say About Us

"

EXCEPTIONAL experience, guide service & supplies – Top Shelf!!!! This is the second year that I have scheduled a fly fishing guided trip. My guide was exceptional and put me on fish during both trips. His ability to “match the hatch” was SPOT ON!!

My son and I travelled to Pagosa Springs specifically to chase trout… I never imagined the trip could be as good as it was. The time in the shop getting licenses and gear was efficient and the folks were great… Our guide was absolutely perfect for us. He took us to a stream that seemed to have fish in every pocket… Simply the best day of fishing we have ever had.

Stellar guiding services and a great outfitter shop. Took a full-day fly fishing trip and I can’t recommend them enough. The fishing was on fire… It’s always cool to have a guide who gets as excited about the experience as you do. Keep up the good work guys – I’ll be back!

This place is awesome. I go here every year when I am in Pagosa. Used them this year for a guided fly fishing trip and it was incredible. The highlight of my trip for sure. If you are considering a guided trip I would 100% recommend them.

Ski and Bow Rack is an outstanding fishing company—their store is well-stocked with everything you could need, and the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The guide we’ve gone out with twice through Ski and Bow Rack is phenomenal. His expertise, genuine friendliness, and clear passion for fishing made both outings memorable. Couldn’t recommend the company more highly!
