Personal Attention

Dan’s Fly Shop’s experienced guides can help make your flyfishing experience exceptional. To maximize personal attention, we limit parties to two people per guide unless arranged in advance. Trips are available from May through September. Scheduling is flexible, but for July and August trips, we suggest that reservations be made at least 4 weeks in advance.

Trips Tailored for You

Whether an experienced angler or a first-timer, our guides meet your needs. Our goal is help you create unforgettable memories of your fishing trip in Lake City. We provide an educational experience, which makes you a better angler with each trip. We are experts in local fishing conditions, sustainable fishing practices, and the best locations which make your trip successful.

Fish the Best Locations

Beginners find our small, unintimidating streams (Big Blue Creek, Henson Creek, and Cebolla Creek) the perfect places to learn the basics of the sport, with an excellent chance of success. Experienced flyfishers take on the challenges of large browns and rainbow in bigger waters like the Lake Fork, Gunnison, and Rio Grande. Wherever you fish, the waters of the Lake City area will entice you to return year after year.
