They steered me to the trout worms over earthworms because they can be kept at room temp and they're smaller so they're easier to use. I told them what tackle I was using and they helped me dial it in. They gave me lots of recommendations and tips for the various lakes, streams in town. They have rod/ reel rentals if you don't have one and a lot of great fly fishing gear and flies as well. I believe they can get you connected with a guide as well. Top quality customer service and amazing local knowledge!!

Was referred here from the Rocky Mountain Visitor Center to get spikes for our hike. We go in, an…read moreolder gentlemen maybe in his 50s with glasses told us we had to rent for more than one day because he said we wouldn't make it back in time to return them. But mentioned that we could get a refund for the additional day if we happened to make it back before he closed at 4pm. As we're walking out, he suggest that we don't steal them... we return them the same day and he explained that the money for the additional day he made us purchase would be refunded onto our card. We get in the vehicle we realize he gave my fiancé another persons rental ticket by the name Jorge Rodriguez. My fiancé is Hispanic... They suggested we would steal the spikes then gave my fiancé another Hispanic persons ticket. The people here are racist & liars. We called the following day to see if the money would reload to which we were told that they don't do refunds all of the sudden. Overall you'd be better off buying some on Amazon before your trip if you are a POC.

HYK was a store I didn't recognize on this year's trip to RMNP, so I just "had" to pop in. Very…read morecool shop with high-quality brands! I thoroughly enjoyed the lyrics posted around the shop from The Avett Brothers. Grateful for a shop that isn't the mass produced tourist t-shirts and trinkets. Or another ice cream shop. There was another Yelper with a 1 star review bitchin' about the cost of products here. Sure you can get a cheaper Ozark Trail jacket or whatever at Walmart, but that's not the level of gear they carry here. Only had a brief interaction with a staff member, and it was quite pleasant. I'll be back.

I also saw an old pal from nursing school, and we had a small chat. Pretty normal right?! There was this awkward bald man at the front pretty much just staring at us, seemed like he was waiting to get back to having no customers. And to end, Don't come here unless you're 62 with no husband... or unless you're going on a "hike" around the lake.

We had the pleasure of fishing with Kyle Von Eiff from Kirk's Flyshop on two separate trips--one on…read moreLake Estes and another on Grand Lake--and both days were absolutely outstanding. Kyle is an exceptional guide and boat captain. His knowledge of the lakes, trout behavior, and where the fish were actively feeding was incredible. Thanks to his expertise, we caught our limit both days and landed four beautiful species of trout: Brown, Lake, Rainbow, and Brook trout. It was more success than we ever imagined! What really sets Kyle apart is how hard he works to make sure everyone has a memorable day on the water. He was patient, encouraging, professional, and always focused on helping us catch fish while making the experience enjoyable. Whether you're an experienced angler or it's your first time fishing, you'll learn from him and have a fantastic time. If you're considering a guided trip in the Estes Park or Grand Lake area, don't hesitate to book with Kyle. We can't recommend him highly enough and will definitely be fishing with him again on our next trip to Colorado. Thank you, Kyle, for memories we'll treasure for years to come!
