Gore Creek Fly Fisherman

My adult son and I fished with Mike yesterday and had a wonderful time. As novice fishermen we faced several challenges, mostly due to our inability to recognize a strike and to set the hook fast enough. With a great amount of coaching we each landed several fish. The fishing right now is difficult with the spring melt causing very fast dangerous conditions. No doubt having a knowledgeable guide is so important. You can’t go wrong with Mike, he is easy to get along with and so knowledgeable, and very patient, trust me we tested his patience several time. As I look at my photos now I realize that this was not only a fishing trip, it was an opportunity to create memories. Thanks Mike!
Oh yeah for you die hards, we fished the Colorado and the Eagle. We caught Rainbow, Brown and a really nice Mountain White.

Katie and Ryan were the best! They both had the patience for our family of 5, with 2 young children. Our 7 year old caught the first fish of the day. The four hours went by so quickly, everyone wants to go back.

First time fly fishing! Ryan was a great guide and teacher and went at our pace. Made for a perfect day and great time.

This was my first time fly fishing, well any kind of fishing. Our group was picked up at the hotel, we stopped by their store to get fitted with PFD’s and get our rods. We spent the day on a small boat going down the river learning how to fly fish and the best places to locate fish. Our guide, Mike was great and knew so much not just about fly fishing, but about the area in general. They provided lunch which we enjoyed under a shady tree near the river before setting off for the 2^nd part of the trip. By the end of the afternoon we both had caught (and released) 3 trout each all while enjoying the warm summer day. This is great fun even for a novice. Thank you Mike & everyone else at Gore Creek for an awesome day.

Great full fishing trip today. The guides are awesome. Patrick was fantastic and managed our party of three with expertise and hospitality. It was fun and great for novice fly fisherman. They are patient and friendly.
Highly recommend this group.
