Big Thompson River Guided Fly Fishing Trips

Originating as a freestone stream within the stunning expanse of Rocky Mountain National Park, the Big Thompson River winds its way through the picturesque mountain enclave of Estes Park. The Big Thompson river than flows into Lake Estes before continuing its journey eastward toward Loveland, Colorado. Below Lake Estes you will find a small tailwater section of the river that allows us year round opportunity at chasing the fish that call this river home.

The Big Thompson holds a special place in our guiding endeavors, consistently delivering exceptional experiences for our clients. St. Peter's guided fly fishing trips along the Big Thompson River not only showcase the breathtaking vistas of nearby Rocky Mountain National Park but also offer glimpses of its remarkable and diverse wildlife. It's these elements combined that make this area one of our preferred destinations for local guided trips.

Our Guides

Here at St. Peter's Fly Shop, our commitment is to offer clients a personalized, top-tier experience with our friendly, knowledgeable, and expertly trained guides. Unlike some other establishments, we don't simply match you with someone learning the waters; our guides are seasoned on the water's they guide; with a deep understanding of local streams, hatches, and techniques. While we embrace the unique personalities of our team, you won't encounter any attitudes, assumptions, or criticisms from our guides. Your satisfaction is our priority, and if for any reason you encounter anything less than exceptional service, we encourage you to let us know—we're here to ensure your experience exceeds expectations.

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.

What's Included

Our guide trips include everything you'll need for your day on stream. We are pleased to provide our clients with the fine rods from the Scott Fly Rod Company and Winston Rods among others.
