Background
With over 30 years of experience fishing for trophy bass in Colorado and California I will show you how and why finesse fishing dominates in the west. My service is versatile, I specialize in guided fishing trips in Denver, Colorado for Rainbow Trout, Smallmouth Bass, and Largemouth Bass, and dont be shocked if we catch them all in the same day! I cater to all skill levels, from the first time angler to the experienced tournament fisherman. In addition to great fishing, you'll get valuable on the water instruction using the latest and greatest G-Loomis and Shimano gear. I am only 30 minutes from both downtown Denver and Colorado Springs, and 90 minutes from most popular mountain resorts such as Vail and Estes Park Colorado. Please give me a call today and find out why I am Colorado's premier bass fishing guide service!!
