Lake City Evenings

I spend most of my evenings in Lake City on the river chasing big fish, but if I'm not on the river, I try to get out as the sun sets over the mountains.

Guiding High-Country Creeks Around Lake City

The high-country creeks around Lake City are great places to take beginner fly fishermen and experts who feel like catching a bunch of smaller fish.  The views up here are hard to beat.

Rainbow trout at Big Blue Creek


The fish in the high country aren't always the biggest, but watching them crush dry flies never gets old.
