UpRiver Fly Fishing is family owned and operated by myself, Kayla and my husband Andrew. Collectively we have over 30 years of experience among the rapids and eddies of the Arkansas River and Brown's Canyon National Monument. We have a deep sense of gratitude for Colorado's wild places and we want to share that with our clients. We strive for a fishing experience that cannot be replicated by other outfitters.
Fishing the Arkansas RiverUpRiver Fly Fishing specializes in float and walk-wade trout fishing adventures based out of Buena Vista Colorado- a short drive from Colorado Springs & Denver! All of our excursions are suitable for beginners & experts alike.
Expert guides, high quality equipment and an exceptional meal add to the exhilaration of landing beautiful browns, rainbows and cutthroat!
World class float trips are offered on the Gold Medal headwaters of the Arkansas River including Brown's Canyon National Monument. Our wade trips take place on the Dream Stream. We also offer 4x4 adventures to several spectacular high mountain lakes in the Sawatch Mountain Range. If you'd like a stillwater fishing experience, we do that too! Transportation can be provided to and from your lodging in Chaffee County.
Stop in to our full service fly shop for fly fishing rentals, "hot flies" and the necessary equipment to get you out fishing the Arkansas. Located in downtown Buena Vista, CO
Our Gold Medal Trout Fishery
In 2014, 102 miles of the Arkansas River were added to the list of Gold Medal trout fisheries, the longest stretch of
trophy fly fishing water in the state of Colorado.
The Arkansas is a freestone river which boasts thriving populations of Brown Trout and stocked populations of healthy Rainbow Trout. Post run-off the Arkansas becomes one of the best hopper-dropper fisheries in the country.
UpRiver Fly Fishing is bonded, licensed and insured and is a registered outfitter with the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area (AHRA)
UpRiver Fly Fishing is an equal opportunity provider and is operated under special use permit with the Pike San Isabel National Forest.
