About
Fly fishing in the winter in Telluride is truly a unique experience! During the winter months, we guide only half day trips and only during the “heat” of the day. We are fortunate to have lots of sun during our winters, the sun warms up the water, fish, bugs, and us. That being said, once that sun starts to tuck behind the mountains are temperatures drop quickly. Start times and end times for each trip will vary depending on weather conditions, location of fishing, and sunlight.
Let me be the first to tell you that fly fishing in the winter is more challenging than fly fishing in the summer. Our guides will provide a truly memorable experience in the breathtaking winter mountain scenery. We run a smaller staff in the winter months, availability is limited, please book early. If you have any questions about winter fly fishing don't hesitate to reach out 970-728-4440.
