Fly Fishing the Roaring Fork Valley

Some of Colorado’s Best Trout Water Runs Right Through Our Backyard

World Class Fishing

Technical Fishing Mastery

Advanced Angler Focus

The rivers around Basalt and Aspen aren’t just beautiful, they fish. The Roaring Fork and its tributaries hold healthy populations of brown and rainbow trout year-round, with hatches and conditions that change with the seasons in ways that keep even seasoned fly fishers coming back. Spring runoff gives way to summer dry fly action.

Seasonal Hatches, Endless Opportunity

Seasonal insect hatches drive constant trout feeding activity, creating year-round opportunities to match the hatch and experience diverse, exciting fly fishing conditions

Local Guides Who Live and Breathe This River

Over 12 Years on the Roaring Fork Valley's Best Water

Gone Fishing Colorado was built on one simple idea, sharing a genuine love of fly fishing with anyone willing to pick up a rod. Our guides have spent years learning these rivers, not just as professionals, but as anglers who fish them on their days off. That kind of local knowledge makes a real difference on the water. We’re not plugging you into a script. We’re taking you to the spots we actually fish, teaching you the techniques that actually work here, and making sure you leave with more than just photos. You leave with real skills and a story worth telling.
