Captain Shawn was awesome! My wife has been learning to fish for three years and had not ever caught anything. I personally had no experience or expertise to offer her. Within ten minutes of putting lines in the water where Shawn suggested, we had full size edible fish in the boat. He not only helped us understand where to look for fish, but he was kind enough to help demonstrate the rigs and bait he uses so we could be more successful on our own trips in the future. Turns out we had all the right... More

Captain Rogers was super friendly and helpful. We were catching trout right off the bat and there were a few times all three of us caught fish at the same time. When it started to slow down, any time he had a bite, he’d let us bring the fish in. He took pictures for us and gave us some tips so we can fish from the dock. His poles were nice and we got to try different baits. He also made an effort to make sure that the trout would live after we released them. We did 10am-2pm at the Aurora reservoir.... More

My wife & I booked Shawn for a bass fishing trip while we are here in Colorado visiting and we were more than thrilled with how everything went! We love to fish but we are no experts that’s for sure. He was patient & taught us a lot and that really helped with catching all the fish that we did. He is full of knowledge and really knows what he is doing and where to go on the lake for the most chances to catch the fish you’re going for. Not to mention, the view from the lake is absolutely breathtaking!... More

My family and I had an absolutely fantastic time on our chartered fishing trip with Shawn at The Finesse Angler. Shawn was exceptional - knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly helpful. We ended up catching a total of 31 trout, which was far beyond our expectations!! It was a particularly special day as it was my son’s 14th birthday. He managed to catch 14 fish, making it an unforgettable birthday celebration. The joy and excitement on his face were priceless. We will definitely book... More

First our guide Shawn explained everything in detail which really helped.  We caught over 30 fish in 4 hours.  We caught 1 large mouth Bass at the beginning and probably lost 6 before we all got the hang of it.  Shawn was very encouraging and even my wife pulled in 3. I would very highly recommend Shawn as a guide and person.
