Float Trip Colorado Rivers / 1 or 2 people

Priced from $400
The Animas, Dolores and San Juan Rivers in Colorado offer some excellent float fishing oppertunities. Floating these rivers gives the angler a chance to fish waters not accessible to the public for wade fishing. These trips are dependent on flows and it is hard to know when the best float window will be.


Guide trip fees do not include fishing license, rental equipment if needed and flies. Trips in Colorado are not taxable but trips to New Mexico are subject to a 5% tax.

Float Trip San Juan Lower River / 1 or 2 people

Priced from $400
We also offer a Lower San Juan River float that is not accessible to public wade fishing. The big dry fly and streamer fishing this section offers is quite a contrast to the small flies and numbers of anglers on the Quality Waters Section. The Lower San Juan Float demands a little higher skill level than the Quality Water and is more dependent on river flow and conditions.

Float Trip on San Juan Quality Waters / 1 person

Priced from $350
We have one of the most exciting trout waters in America, the San Juan below Navajo Dam, just a scenic easy sixty-minute drive from Durango. This river is known for it's abundance of large trout and is a great destination for novice and expert anglers. With a constant water tempeture being released from Navajo Reservoir this river fishes well year round. Although we offer guided wade fishing trips on the San Juan, some prefer to float this river making it a less physically demanding and relaxing day.


The Quality Water section is where most fly fishermen concentrate their efforts, which is from the Dam downstream for 3 1/2 miles. This sections has the highest concentration of trout with the largest average size due to the special management regulation put in place by the New Mexico Game and Fish.

Wade trip 1 person

Priced from $325
Wade fishing trips are available on almost all the water we guide. From the famous San Juan Quality Waters below Navajo Dam, where most of the fish are in the 15 to 18 inch range to more small mountain creeks than you will have time to fish. The smaller waters can not offer the consistent big fish of the San Juan but make up for it in sheer beauty and solitude. Other wade fishing waters in the area are the San Juan, Animas, Dolores, Pine and Pierda. Each fishery offers a different experience and our staff can help determine which would be right for you.

Float Fishing Trips Colorado Rivers

The Animas, Rio Grande, Dolores and San Juan in Colorado offer some excellent float fishing opportunities in Southwest Colorado. Floating these rivers gives the angler a chance to fish waters that are not accessible to the public for wade fishing. These trips are dependent on flows and river conditions and it is hard to know year to year when exactly the float window will be on each of these waters. Most years the window of opportunity begins mid June and ends in late summer. These floats are not ideal for most beginning fly fishers but offer a great chance to fish waters that are less fished.
