Finesse Angler (Denver) Bass/Trout 

Captain Shawn was fantastic. We caught number of trout in a variety of sizes on ultralight gear. As a fisherman from the Midwest I enjoyed the challenge of learning new styles of fishing. Trout are finicky and can be fragile. Captain Shawn found a great balance in putting us on fish, figuring out what they were hitting on and how deep all while respecting the natural resource. Great job and i will rebook his services when I’m back in Denver! Next time it’s a Bass trip!

We had a great day fishing. The kids had a great time and our son who really likes fishing loved it. The weather conditions with the wind would have been impossible for us to even try fishing so we really appreciated the expertise and help. There were a lot of technical things we wouldn't have known anything about and the behaviors of the fish in order to be successful in fishing today. The experience made it way more relaxing and enjoyable for us as parents. Our teenager didn't want much to do with it but she did bring in a couple of fish so it was flexible which was also great. I would recommend this for all skill levels and all ages of kids.

We showed up about 45 minutes late, but the captain was super understanding and didn’t make it an issue at all, which we really appreciated. It was me, two friends, and their two kids, and he made the whole experience easy and enjoyable for everyone. Within the first hour, we already hit our limit. We even released some of the smaller ones and kept fishing just for fun. Biggest trout we caught was around 17–18 inches. Average size was about 14 inches. Captain was friendly, patient, and made sure we all had a great time—especially the kids. Overall, a really fun trip and definitely worth it. Would book again.

We had an incredible day out on the water with Shawn. From start to finish, everything was top notch. The boat and equipment were pristine and very well maintained, and we caught well over 15 fish including some really nice ones! Shawn was not only knowledgeable and professional, but also great company. The conversations flowed all day and there was never a dull moment. He made the whole trip fun, relaxed, and memorable. If you’re looking for a fantastic guide, I highly recommend booking with Shawn. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks again, Shawn it was truly a pleasure fishing with you today!

Had a great experience. Over 25 fish in just 4 hrs. Captain gave us a couple options on what type of fishing we could do i.e. trout, bass, walleye. then gave us great instruction on proper techniques, casting, etc. I was with my family of 4.
