Cache la Poudre River Guided Fly Fishing Trips
One of the favorite fisheries near Fort Collins, Colorado
Located a mile from our downtown shop in Fort Collins, the Poudre River begins in Rocky Mountain National Park at Poudre Lake and flows east towards town. With over 45 miles of public water on the main stem alone, it is certainly our favorite local fishery. Remaining as one of Colorado’s only undammed rivers, The Cache la Poudre River is breathtaking. Only minutes away from our shop, this is the water our guide trip clients spend the most time fishing.
Our guided fly fishing trips on the Cache la Poudre will meet at the Old Town location in downtown Fort Collins. From there you will head up into the Poudre Canyon for your guided trip.
Our Guides
Here at St. Peter's we strive to provide our clients with friendly, knowledgeable, well trained guides who's primary focus is you. There are plenty of shops out there willing to match you up with a warm body that's basically getting paid to learn the water and take you along. Not here... Our guides are experienced fly fishers with extensive knowledge of local streams, hatches, and techniques. While we've got our share of eccentrics on staff, you will not find attitudes, assumptions, or criticisms from our guides. If you do, we want to hear about it.
Guide Trips
All guide trips can be instructional...or we can just go out and help you catch fish. Part school, part fishing, our trips will build your fundamental fly fishing skills, expand your understanding of local entomology, work the kinks out of your presentation, or help you get rid of that annoying tailing loop. Let us know what we can do to maximize your enjoyment on stream and we'll do whatever we can to accommodate you.
