Kirks Flyshop

I cannot say enough good things about booking a fly fishing excursion through Kirk’s. This was our third time booking through Kirk’s. Stephen was our guide this year. He did a fantastic job making sure we had lots of bites, catches and photos. We had so much fun and laughed so hard that the two times he needed to walk away, my husband immediately caught a fish. Such a great day!

We had a perfect full day and guided hike with Andy. From the moment he let us sniff the evergreen sap I knew he was the perfect guide for us. He pointed out medicinal plants, native animal species, spoke to the rich Native American history of the park, and was very knowledgable about RMNP and Colorado in general. We had a great 8 hours and 10+ miles of trail filled with stunning skies and beautiful waters. Thanks Kirks, and a big thanks to Andy for being a great human.

I recently returned from an outstanding 2-night flyfishing trip in Rocky Mountain National Park, complete with llamas and expertly guided by Darren C. of Kirk’s Fly Shop. 5 Stars for both Darren and Kirk’s Fly Shop! Darren’s experience as a guide was instrumental in the success of our trip. Somehow, Darren was always ready with advice on how and where to cast, the best flies to use, dealing with the occasional mishap and fishing line tangle, retying knots, etc. Darren just made it happen! And, he’s genuinely thrilled when one of his guests catches a fish! We didn’t worry about any of the logistics (llamas, fishing gear, tents, etc.) and he kept us very well fed. Darren is a real pro and I’m looking forward to the next trip!

Highly recommend Lucas B! I’ve fished with guides all over the world and Lucas definitely stands out. I booked this trip for my wife, mother and I to get out and do some fishing. My mom has never fished in her life and Lucas was an amazing teacher, He was able to teach her how to read the river, cast, hook and land fish all by herself in the span of only a few hours, anyone who has been fly fishing knows that’s an impressive feat! Lucas managed 3 people with 3 different skill levels effortlessly. We all caught plenty of trout and more importantly had a great time with family. Lucas was personable, knowledgeable friendly and funny. All 3 of us can’t say enough good things about him! We will definitely be booking with him again. Trust me on this, If your going to book a fishing trip ask for Lucas!!

10Sep2023 my girlfriend and I decided to book a guided tour. This is our second time there. This time we had Luke, he was exactly what we needed. Made it super fun for us made sure he took care of setting us up and guiding us through just having a great time in the mountains and in the water. I am not a huge fisherman at all. But he made it an awesome experience and memory for us. We ended up catching a bunch of fish and one was a really nice fish. But it was more than just that. He spent all the time necessary to make it fun for us unsnagged our lines, tied new flies for us, etc. We had so much fun and actually looked forward to recommending them and writing a great review for them! Luke was awesome! From the time we walked into the shop through turning in our gear, he made it all about us. Kirks is the place to book your trip. They have all the gear necessary and know the area better then anyone else. Thank you for a great memory.
