Explore the beautiful, scenic lakes of Northern Colorado with Northern Colorado (NoCo) Fishing Outfitters! Your Colorado fishing trip will be lead by Jed Thompson a Colorado fishing guide and a local who has been fishing in Colorado and the area for over 40+ years. You can find him fishing anywhere around Fort Collins year-round, even when the lakes are frozen! The fishing & the outdoors is his lifelong passion, as he’s not only an avid angler and a guide but also a former fishery biologist.

Northern Colorado Fishing Outfitters offers Trips at Boyd Lake & Carter Lake in Loveland and Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins. This Colorado fishing guide offers various types of guided fishing trips through the year. You can fish from the boat in the spring, summer & fall. Then ice fish on a frozen lake during winter. Visit his profile and find what suits you best.

Boat trips are great fishing fun, so come aboard his 19’ Lund boat. She’s equipped with a full compliment of comfortable seats, quality rods & reels, Minkotta trolling motor, chart plotter, and a quality sonar. The boat accommodates up to 4 guests. Trip Lengths available for 4, 6, & 8 hour trips.

You have several fishing location options to choose from including fishing on Boyd Lake at Boyd Lake State Park or at Carter Lake in Loveland Colorado; and Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins, Colorado. Depending on season and which fish species you want to catch, you could be trolling, casting, or jigging. Your main targets for the day could be Rainbow Trout, Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, White Bass, and Walleye depending on season & fishing location.

The captain will provide you with rods, reels, lures, jigs and bait. You’ll need to purchase your Colorado fishing license before your trip and bring your food and drinks for the day.

NoCo Fishing offers year round Colorado fishing charters at the best Colorado fishing hot spots. Join Northern Colorado Fishing Outfitters on your next Colorado fishing adventure!

Awesome and professional fisherman and I had a great time just fishing with someone that felt like a friend in a sport we both loved and enjoyed. I had him throw back more fish than we could have kept because we both believed in responsible management, he gladly returned a fish to the lake when I asked him to ;-)
