Gone Fishing Colorado Description

Gone Fishing Colorado is a premier fly fishing guide service based in Basalt, Colorado, celebrating its 10th year of guiding anglers on the renowned waters of the Roaring Fork Valley. Built around a genuine passion for fly fishing, the outfitter specializes in creating memorable, productive days on the river for anglers of all experience levels. Whether guests are picking up a fly rod for the first time or refining advanced techniques, Gone Fishing Colorado focuses on patient instruction, local knowledge, and time spent fishing the right water at the right moment.

Guided trips are offered as both wade fishing and float fishing experiences, allowing anglers to choose the style that best fits their interests and abilities. Wade fishing trips provide a hands-on, immersive way to learn fly fishing or develop more technical skills. Moving slowly through the river, anglers focus on reading water, making deliberate casts, and targeting trout in specific runs and pools. Guides remain nearby throughout the trip, offering instruction, adjusting tactics, and helping land fish. Wade trips are available on the Frying Pan, Roaring Fork, Colorado, and Crystal Rivers and can be customized for timing and group size.

Float fishing trips offer a faster-paced experience, covering more water and providing a dynamic perspective of the valley’s scenery. These trips are especially popular with experienced anglers but are also suitable for beginners interested in learning from a drift boat. Gone Fishing Colorado runs float trips on the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers, with half-day, full-day, and evening “Power Hour” floats designed to take advantage of prime dry-fly conditions at sunset.

Located on Two Rivers Road at the confluence of the Frying Pan and Roaring Fork Rivers, the outfitter is positioned near some of the most productive trout water in the region. The guides have spent years fishing these rivers and understand how seasonal flows, weather, and insect activity affect success. Families are welcome, and trips can accommodate children when appropriate. Equipment, instruction, and local insight are all provided, allowing guests to focus on enjoying the experience.
