Big Thompson River Guided Fly FIshing

Big Thompson River Guided Fly Fishing Trips

The Big Thompson River begins as a freestone stream in Rocky Mountain National Park, flows through Estes Park and Lake Estes, and continues toward Loveland. Below the lake, a tailwater section provides year-round fishing. Known for its scenic beauty and abundant wildlife, it’s a favorite destination for our guided trips and consistently offers excellent fishing experiences.

St. Peter’s Fly Shop has led trips in northern Colorado for over 30 years, providing expert guidance for anglers of all levels and creating memorable experiences on the water.
