Animas River Fly Fishing Guides

Animas River Fly Fishing in the Heart of Durango

Flowing through the heart of Durango, Colorado, the Animas River is our home water and one we love. The Animas is a freestone river that boasts huge rainbow, brown, and cuttbow trout. Abundant midge, caddis, and mayfly hatches, with some stoneflies thrown in for good measure, make for exciting fishing throughout town. When flows permit, floating is an adventure not to be missed!

Book with our experiences Animas River fly fishing guides below – we can’t wait to share the water with you.

Pricing

We offer float and wade trips on three different stretches of the river. Above town, the river is slow and meandering through oxbows in the beautiful Animas Valley. Through town there is great access along the entire river and plenty of great fishing spots to hit along the way. And below town we have excellent floating during the high water season, and incredible private water ranches when levels become too low to float.

“Jeremy Nolan and his group of guides are true professionals and provide their customers a day of great sport. They are always on time, with the right gear, great lunch and always a smile. One note of caution during the “High Season” – you need to book early for they get very busy.”
