    We wanted to go fishing on a whim and we went here to get my 8 year old son a rod and all the things to go fishing. The man who helped us was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They had a good selection of equipment. Would recommend this business 100%.

    I booked a full day float trip for myself and a good friend. I've been fly fishing a grand total of 2 times, and my friend has a fair amount of experience. Our guide, Nathan, did an excellent job of helping me improve my casting throughout the day. Our day began with Nathan giving us a comprehensive safety briefing before we started out trip. I highly encourage you pay attention to this. We did traverse a fair amount of white water during this trip, and late in the day, I lost my balance as we entered a small rapid and fell out of the boat. Nathan did a great job of getting me back into the boat, and of course while he was getting me in the boat hit a rock and my friend fell out! Nathan got my friend back in the boat, and once we figured out everyone was ok, we all had a good laugh! All I can say is pay attention as things can and will happen when you least expect it. I can assure you I had no intention to go for a swim on this trip! We caught some nice fish, saw some amazing scenery and had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Nathan was a true pro and you could tell he really loves what he does! I would definitely book another trip with Nathan in the future!!!

    Located in downtown Buena Vista, Ark Anglers is an all in one fly shop. I came in to the shop after making a reservation for one of their guided trips. Our guide Mark was outstanding! He walked us through the gear setup and we left out early. Our first stop was a small lake just north of BV at the base of some of the most beautiful mountains in the state. Mark walked my father in law and I through the eating habits of trout, how to spot feeding spots, and all the techniques of fly fishing. He was very patient, understanding and knowledgable and a pleasure to fish with. After some time on the lake we moved to the river and learned some additional techniques and skills. Although river fishing was much more technically complicated, it was a ton of fun! I learned much more than I anticipated and feel like I caught the fly fishing bug. I would be happy to fish with Mark again in future trips.

    My dad and I have popped in here before to get some local knowledge about flies and what's hittin on the river. Their advice has been on point. This year for my dad's 67th birthday my sisters and I bought him a half day float trip guided through ark anglers. Our guide caveman was awesome knowledgeable and fun! We had a great time! I learned so much about fly fishing I had no idea. Only caught one fish but had a blast. Have to recommend these guys for anything from a few flies to gear to full on guided trips.

    WOW what a time. My…read morefriend and I signed up with this company to take us on a 2 day extreme class IV/V Overnight rafting trip on the Arkansas river. We both have experience with this company from rafting the Upper Salt River in AZ. Unfortunately the water levels didn't cooperate but, the rafting company modified the itinerary to give us the best possible adventure possible. Day upper upper Browns Canyon which led to class I've and the use of duckies. Operation am not a fan but, half of our group loved them. We were then driven 1.5 hours away for our dinner and tent camping (3 miles from our put in). Ryan and Eric our guides cooked a great meal and catered to the group. We awakened to a mist and heavy fog, which we were served pancakes and sausages for a warm breakfast, and let's not forget hot coffee. We then departed at 8:30 for our trip down the Royal Gorge were we hit class in rapids, lots of class 3s, great geology, good company, lots of fun and a great experience. Ryan our lead guide and Eric did a great job for 2 days of providing us a great experience and memories. You have many choices but from a personal experience this is the best company to deal with. We are already planning next year's multi day trip.

    My family and I did the Brown's Canyon Monument trip, and we had a phenomenal time! Our guide, Ben,…read morewas incredible- extremely upbeat and funny. It was our first time (any of us) doing a raft trip, and he helped make us great. We cannot sing his praises enough. The trip we booked is typically supposed to be 2-2.5hr and it ours was extended to about 4hrs due to circumstances. Again, so upbeat throughout the entire trip.

    Hi all! The…read moreAdventure Company was very professional from start to finish, and they were fun too. My family and I went rafting, and at that time, the Arkansas River was really high. There were some rapids that were very exciting, and the water was really cold, but it was funny for everyone else when I was getting soaked in the front. The water is COLD, but you get used to it pretty quickly. The rapids relaxed down in about 10 minutes, and it was a pretty smooth ride for the rest of journey. The total trip was about an hour and a half, which is a good time for younger kids. David was a great guide, and he was funny and entertaining, yet knowledgeable and passionate about many things adventure. He trained everyone in the raft the do-s and don't-s of rafting, and made sure everyone was prepared in case of emergency. He showed the techniques of how to maneuver the raft, and how to 'rescue' your buddy if they fell in. We had ages 7-57 in our group, and it was fun for everyone. If you are a beginner or have younger, more senior people in your group, I would suggest a level 1-2 experience. If you have a group of more confident, or medium-good physically fit people who like a bit more adventurous time, I would suggest a higher level of rapids. The rest of the staff in the office were very friendly, and the office and amenities were clean and organized. They had changing rooms, and clean guest bathrooms complete with showers if you so desire. They have free lockboxes for you to leave your keys or other valuables if you need. They offered picture packages, but allowed you to take whatever devices you wanted on the raft. They advise against it, and take no responsibility for your lost items, however, they did not prevent us from bringing them (we did not bring our devices). It was a little bit of a hike from Dillon, Frisco area. About 2 hours drive, but the scenery is amazing, and with good company, it makes an easy drive. You pass through some interesting towns on the way if you want to stop and get lunch or dinner! Overall, this was an awesome trip!

    I went white water rafting on The Numbers with The Adventure Company and had an amazing time!…read moreEverything from the booking process to the staff to our experience was worthy of 5 stars. I especially want to shout out Kotty, our guide, Simon, our safety guy, and Jason, our driver. They really made our experience phenomenal. I would gladly drive 2 hours to Buena Vista to go white water rafting with them again. Thanks!
