From the water

“I have been fishing with Cole several times. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. I have caught several fish with Cole including my personal best.”

“Had the opportunity to fish with Cole twice on the latter part of my trip. Fished the South Platte River south of Woodland Park, CO. Saw lots of fish rising and eating but were pretty particular that day. Water was already 64 when we started and only fished for little over 3.5 hours when water temperature and incoming storm pushed us off water. Caught a hand full of quality fish but thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Cole invited me to come fish with him on the Conejos River a few days later. Didn’t take much arm twisting to get me back on another body of water.😀 We spent a little less than four hours in the water with absolute total success. Netted eight fish with two of them being “Monsters” After seven years of pursuing the 24” Club Membership I did so on this trip catching not one but two Rainbow’s over 24”. I will be back to enjoy another experience on the Conejos and will recommend Cole to any and all who want an opportunity to catch these big boys.”

“Coles definitely extremely talented when it does come to the waters. I’ve been fishing with him 4 years now. And I’ve learned absolutely so much. From nymphing to dry fly. Always such a good time.definitely won’t be disappointed when you go out on the river. The views, the nature, and the knowledge you’ll take from a trip is well worth it.”

“Would highly recommend Cole to anyone looking to fly fish, regardless of skill level. He is a top-notch guide who truly knows his stuff. I spent two days fishing with Cole in some of the most beautiful areas of Colorado, and his knowledge of the water, fish, and region was evident in the fish we landed. Beyond the incredible fishing, I really enjoyed the conversations, the scenery, and the picturesque cabins we stayed in. The entire trip was a unique experience and one that I believe everyone should experience with Cole—sooner rather than later! Thank you, Cole, for the amazing memories, great conversations, and BIG fish!”

“Cole gave me the trip I’ve dreamed of since I was a little girl. My grandfather used to tell me stories of catching monster trout in the Rocky Mountains. Cole allowed me to honor my grandfathers memory with a trip of a lifetime! His knowledge and expertise guided me to thrive on the river. From the state of the art equipment, advice on casting and landing, to untangling my snags and messes it was nothing short of patience and perfection you look for in a guide. I will 100% be using Cole for all my future trips to come. My passion for fly fishing has been reforged and I am so very grateful.”

“My 84 year old father and I have fished with Cole three times, and found him to be professinal, knowledgeable, and patient. We caught beautiful fish and also learned a ton in the process. We wil definitely seek out Cole again. Highly recommend.”

“Cole was amazing, his knowledge of the waters and how to fly fish was impeccable. Would use him again in a heartbeat.”
