My wife and I stumbled on this place, while we were picking a few things up in town, on our last…read morecamping/fishing excursion. We had been thinking about giving fly fishing a shot as something we can both learn together. Fortunately, we ran into Bob. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. When he realized that they were complete novices, he asked if we would like to step out front for a fly fishing "workshop." We jumped at the chance! We learned proper casting form with a splash of more advanced techniques. He offered great prices on his rods, but when l told him that we had just picked one up from somewhere else, there were absolutely no high pressure sales. Instead, he totally hooked us up, taught us how to tie all of our knots, and when they were just too crazy, did them for us. We WILL be back. If you have the slightest interest in fly fishing... You should go see Bob. He'll treat you right!!

On June 26, 2026 I went in to get some leader and tippet. There was a customer with his two…read moreteenage daughters getting outfitted for a guided trip by the two nice men on the front step. The customer was inside and asking questions the old gray haired shop worker hadn't answered. The customer asked question after question because the old man hadn't explained the trip well. The old man then started barking orders at the guides who were already helping the daughters with exactly what he was barking about. I moved over the leaders and tippets and saw the prices were 20% higher than any shop I'd been in on the I-70 corridor. The old man then came in and told me, "I'm kicking you out." I was the only one in the shop. I said, "Kicking me out?" The old man replied, "Yeah, I'm too busy. You have to leave." I didn't argue and left. After walking out, the old man closed the door and then began barking more orders again. Micromanaging the situation. I have never been treated like this in any fly shop in my 35 years of fishing. I will never shop there again, nor recommend anyone shop there. Customer service is nonexistant and the old man, pictured in the post is rude and unprofessional.

There is parking, tables, and restrooms at this rest stop. The scenery here is beautiful with the creek running through the mountains. The Grizzly Creek Trail is nearby if you want to do some hiking. It's about 4 miles one way and a little challenging. You can also do some rafting in the creek. Even though it was snowy and cold when I was here, Grizzly Creek still made for some beautiful photos.

I was impressed with the way he modified routes and timelines based on weather and our group's performance.

Great way to experience the Colorado Flat Tops!

We went on a float trip with Brian and I couldn't have had a better time. He took the time to…read morerefine some of my skills, like mending and how to cast with accuracy in when facing strong wind. I caught the three largest rainbow trouts of my life, but will carry his lessons with me forever. Brian was hands down the hardest working guide I've ever fished with and I firmly believe everyone from a beginner to a seasoned angler would have a great time and leave better off after a day with him!

If you want a guide who can help you at no matter what stage of fishing you are at, call Brian. I…read morehad zero experience fly fishing. My husband wanted me to try something new. Brian took on the challenge. I started out the day with mixed feelings. I caught a fairly large rainbow trout and I let it go as Brian handed it to me. Suggestion, ask Brian right off the bat how to hold these fish so they don't slip out of your hands. They are slimy for a reason. It is a protective gift God gives them. If you drop it, let it fall in the boat/raft. Brian is an excellent instructor and nothing gets past him. I was amazed at his ability to row and watch my bob at the same time with great precision. We stopped and had a delicious (and I mean delicious) lunch. If you want to be spoiled, go on an outing with Brian. If you don't care, you can try someone else.

I accidentally went to the wrong address because I used Apple Maps instead of Google Maps (which they clearly recommend), and I was so stressed thinking our entire trip was ruined. Instead of making it an issue, they showed us nothing but patience and kindness and made extreme accommodations to take care of our group. All week long, their team was incredibly helpful making sure I had the correct bus reservation for our one-day snow trip from SoCal. They were responsive, reassuring, and truly made the process stress-free. Anders was amazing to work with, and our guide Ben was fantastic, so welcoming, calm, and great to be around while traveling with a child. They made our family feel comfortable and cared for from the moment we arrived. What really stood out was how accommodating they were with our gear, they handled everything with zero judgment and even comped our gear, which meant so much to us. Traveling with a child can be unpredictable, and they were nothing but understanding and supportive. If you're looking for a company that truly cares about families and goes above and beyond, this is it. We wouldn't book with anyone else. Sage Outdoor Adventures sets the standard for customer service and family-friendly experiences.
