Caught fish before we even had all of the lines dropped!! We wanted to do some things in Colorado that we are not able to do back home in Mississippi and ice fishing was on our list along with dogsledding and snowmobiling. We were so thrilled to have this ice fishing trip recommended through our Summit County Mountain Retreat company that we rented our condo through. George at Silver Flask Fishing got us SO excited about ice fishing right at the start! He was just like one of our family! My daughter and I went out for the day with him. My husband and 9 yr old son didn't get to go due to my son having altitude sickness (where we live it is only 279 ft. -- Our condo and expeditions were at 10,200+ ft.!!) Needless to say he was VERY disappointed!! I assured him we will definitely call GEORGE and plan another trip (after we acclimate slowly on the next trip!) We caught fish (lost some, too, but that is part of the learning process); he taught us well and was so patient with us; he cleaned our fish and gave us his dad's recipe for easy, but tasty pan fried trout and salmon (those are the 2 types we caught). They were yummy!! A beautiful day with such majestic views! George kept us warm and our hooks baited! Very enthusiastic and funny!! This was a highlight of our trip for sure!! read more

Unbelievable experience! George haas every set up in record time (5 min or so) and we had our lines in the water at exactly 9am. Caught our first trout less than a minute after dropping the line. Didn't slow down there, we caught our limit in the first hour, but he kept us going the whole trip. We brought in four different species and had several hard hits from some monsters. We brought snacks, but were too busy to break them out. George really focuses on teaching you and I will no longer say I can't fish, (as long as he's around anyway). He is great for novices like me and more seasoned fishermen like my husband. He is an expert on Dillon lake, so if you want a true guide who does research and test drilling prior to your trip to ensure your on the fish, there only one guide for you....George with Silver Flask Fishing! read more

I spent a wonderful Friday morning on the shores of Dillon Reservoir. My goal was to learn more about fly fishing and the Dillon Reservoir and that I did. I started the day with a true Bucket-list fish: an Arctic Char on a fly rod, a fat ~14" beauty. The day could have ended and I would have gone home a happy man; however, the best was to come. George showed the true skills of a master guide; willingness and patience to teach me more about the sport of fly fishing. With George's direction not only did my skills improve but I caught 7 more Rainbows. I plan to spend more time with George, aka Silver Flask Fishing. read more

We had an incredible time fly fishing with George as our guide! As total beginners, we weren't sure what to expect, but George made the whole experience fun, educational, and memorable. He was an awesome teacher--super patient, clear in his instructions, and genuinely passionate about fly fishing. Thanks to his guidance, we felt comfortable and confident on the water, and we ended up catching six fish! We learned a ton and had a great time doing it. Highly recommend booking a trip with George, whether you're new to fly fishing or just looking for a great day out on the water. read more

Wow!! Talk about an outstanding guide service - George is as hardworking, dedicated, and knowledgeable as they come. Silver Flask is the REEL deal - George put us on fish all day long - we limited out in one hour and caught three species!! An unforgettable day on the ice with a super fun and friendly guide, plus the hut kept us out of the wind and was a lot of fun. When I say we slayed fish all day, I mean it! I couldn't even take a drink of water without getting a bite and throwing my water bottle. Can't wait to go fishing with Silver Flask again SOON! read more

My husband and our two oldest boys had an amazing time fishing last week! It was the highlight of their vacation. This is something we will do every time we go to Colorado from now on. Not only was George Peebles amazing with the kids, but he even had heaters in the double size tent to keep them warm. If you are looking for an amazing guide to help you ice fish, this is your guy! We were very impressed! Thanks George for going above and beyond to make our first ice fishing experience so much fun! read more

I'm new to CO and wanted to learn how to fish the local lakes and streams. Fly fishing is a bit out of reach for me right now (young son) and George was able to accommodate my spinning rod. He was very helpful is showing me everything from how to set up tackle to how to read the water. I still have a lot to learn but feel much more confident in dipping a rod in during family travels. Thank you George for a fun evening and a solid foundation! read more

Had an awesome ice fishing experience with George. He was super chill, fun to be around, and genuinely nice the whole time. You can tell he really knows how to fish, and he's great at teaching beginners without making it feel overwhelming. The session was eventful and engaging, and the three hours honestly flew by like it was just one. Highly recommend George if you're looking to try ice fishing or improve your skills! read more

It was my first time ice fishing and I couldn't have had a better time! George had everything set up and ready to go upon our arrival and the experience was great from beginning to end. Despite a slow fishing day, George was extremely knowledgeable and kept us entertained--the scenery also can't be beat. Thanks for a fantastic day and fun introduction to ice fishing, Silver Flask! read more

We slayed so many fish today with Captain George in the gorgeous Lake Dillon. Silver Flask Fishing is the absolute best. My kids are A LOT and he was super patient and got lots of fish on for all of us. While running three lines he also took tons of great pics. We just finished the most delicious trout dinner. Super reasonably priced, we will be back! Thank you, Captain George! read more

Silver-flask is the real deal; just a guy doing what he loves. Had a great time ice fishing; a buddy and I had a last-minute excursion and our guide put us right on the fish. Kept us warm and was really enthusiastic about the whole experience. Got to bring home some nice trout. We'd like to come back for some fly fishing and ice fishing, and when we do, it'll be Silver-Flask. read more

we had a blast fishing with G. We kicked back and he taught us all he knew about fishing. the setup was awesome having multiple options for jigs and bait. He really knew his stuff. we caught about 12 fish but only kept 8. G cleaned thrm for us and even taught us how to cook them! G is a legend and you should definitely spend a Day out in the ice with him. read more

We had an awesome time with George fly fishing for the first time! None of us had been fly fishing before, and within 20 minutes George had all of us confidently casting and setting the lines. We caught 25-30 trout in just a few hours which far surpassed our expectations. I'd recommend a Silver Flask Fishing experience to all experience levels read more

Silver Flask Fishing was an excellent choice for my fly fishing trip. George, the owner, was so likable and knowledgeable about fly fishing in the area. I was extremely comfortable and encouraged by George as it had been a while since I flyfished. Within 5 minutes I was caught my first of many trout that day. Highly recommend. read more
