This translates into unparalleled accessibility to the best fishing anywhere with guides that will take your fly fishing experience to another level.GOLD MEDAL WATERSAlthough it runs right through Vail, Gore Creek has remained somewhat of a fly fishing secret and a stretch of the stream has earned the distinction as a Gold Medal Stream. This means that it can produce 60 pounds of trout per acre.

They are the Vail Valley’s oldest fly fishing shop and the most prominent guide service in Vail, Beaver Creek and Avon, Colorado. Our vast fly fishing knowledge of numerous rivers, including the Eagle River, Gore Creek, the Colorado River, the Roaring Fork River, the Yampa River as well as high-country streams and lakes, is second to none. This translates into unparalleled accessibility to the best fishing anywhere with guides that will take your fly fishing experience to another level.GOLD MEDAL WATERSAlthough it runs right through Vail, Gore Creek has remained somewhat of a fly fishing secret and a stretch of the stream has earned the distinction as a Gold Medal Stream. This means that it can produce 60 pounds of trout per acre.
