Our Story

Colorado’s Premier Fly Shop

Since 2007, Winter Park Flyfisher has been the family-owned fly shop anglers count on as their first stop for everything fly fishing. Whether you’re fishing on your own, booking a guided trip, or planning an international adventure, we’ve built our reputation on helping customers at every stage of their journey.

We carry top brands like Simms, Fishpond, Patagonia, Winston, Umpqua, Temple Fork, Montana Fly Company, Scientific Anglers, and more — along with a dedicated fly-tying area for creating your own patterns.

Our vision is simple: to provide knowledge, expertise, and a welcoming environment where every customer has a positive experience from the moment they walk in to the moment they leave. Fly fishing has sometimes been seen as an “elitist” sport — we work hard to change that. Whether you’re brand new to the water or have decades of experience, our staff is here with the right gear, the right guidance, and true local knowledge.

When it comes to guided trips, our team is among the best in Colorado — patient with beginners, insightful for experienced anglers, and dedicated to making every day on the water memorable. Through partnerships with private landowners, the Forest Service, BLM, and Colorado Parks & Wildlife, we’re able to offer access to some of the finest fishing experiences in the Rockies.

For us, the mission has remained the same since 2007: combine expertise, family values, and local knowledge to make fly fishing both accessible and exceptional.

Customer Reviews

""I’m not very experienced when it comes to fishing gear, but Scott was incredibly helpful and patient. He took the time to explain things and helped me pick out the right spinners for what I needed. It’s a great little shop with a welcoming feel — highly recommend for beginners and experienced anglers alike!""

Paul Maudlin

""We had a great time with Josh! He got us on some big browns! He was a super nice guy and had lots of patience with us. I had never really fly fished before, and he was able to teach me 2 techniques that really work. Overall, Josh was a super patient and knowledgeable guy and we would recommend him for any time of the year""

JAMES LINDMARK

""Had a great time with Josh on the water at Devil's Thumb with my Father in law. We fought through some tough conditions with high water and wind, but we were able to catch some fish and enjoy the beautiful scenery on a blue bird day. Josh was a great teacher and offers great coaching and concepts for those looking to get into Fly Fishing.""

""Josh Frank took us on an excellent 4 hr wade trip. My spouse and I were both able to catch large Brown Trout in an otherwise unfamiliar river. Josh is a wealth of knowledge about the surrounding rivers and works hard to make sure his clients have the best experience possible.""

Kyle Ottaway

""Great fishing shop with knowledgable employees. We set up a guide through the shop and Dave was great! He brought us to a beautiful fishing spot and set us up to catch plenty of trout. He was very patient with me since it was my first time fly fishing. As I continued to demonstrate my lack of fly fishing skills, Dave kept working with me until I finially caught a fish. I highly recommend Winter Park Flyfisher!""
