John took our family out for a snowshoeing adventure in RMNP. He was funny and made the trip very enjoyable. He taught all of us how to snowshoe and gave great tips to maximize our experience. He also gave great suggestions for hikes later in our vacation. We highly recommend Kirk's Fly shop for your next adventure.

John was amazing. As first-timers, we were a little hesitant, but the entire process from getting waders to learning the basics was so friendly. We had such a great time

I cannot say enough good things about booking a fly fishing excursion through Kirk’s. This was our third time booking through Kirk’s. Stephen was our guide this year. He did a fantastic job making sure we had lots of bites, catches and photos. We had so much fun and laughed so hard that the two times he needed to walk away, my husband immediately caught a fish. Such a great day!

One of the best experiences ever! I’m 48 years old and today, for the first time, I got to fly fish, see and touch trout and share it all with my youngest daughter. Our guide, Brad was patient and wonderful to learn from.

Booked a 1/2 wade trip for a girls weekend! John Carey did not disappoint! He got us on a ton of fish! He was knowledgeable about the area and had a great personality! I have been in the fly shop before and the customer service was great that’s why we booked our guide trip through them! 5 stars!

Took my eldest son on his first fly fishing adventure with Stephen as our guide. My son caught his first three fish in the first hour. Broke Stephens fly rod on a beast later in the day but that's another story. Thanks for an awesome father/son adventure.

We did an evening hatch with Patrick and had the best time! I wish we had booked a longer lesson than we did. Patrick was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had an excellent time. Can't wait to do this again when we visit the park next year!

10Sep2023 my girlfriend and I decided to book a guided tour. This is our second time there. This time we had Luke, he was exactly what we needed. Made it super fun for us made sure he took care of setting us up and guiding us through just having a great time in the mountains and in the water. I am not a huge fisherman at all. But he made it an awesome experience and memory for us. We ended up catching a bunch of fish and one was a really nice fish. But it was more than just that. He spent all the time necessary to make it fun for us unsnagged our lines, tied new flies for us, etc. We had so much fun and actually looked forward to recommending them and writing a great review for them! Luke was awesome! From the time we walked into the shop through turning in our gear, he made it all about us. Kirks is the place to book your trip. They have all the gear necessary and know the area better then anyone else. Thank you for a great memory.

I recently returned from an outstanding 2-night flyfishing trip in Rocky Mountain National Park, complete with llamas and expertly guided by Darren C. of Kirk’s Fly Shop. 5 Stars for both Darren and Kirk’s Fly Shop!Darren’s experience as a guide was instrumental in the success of our trip. Somehow, Darren was always ready with advice on how and where to cast, the best flies to use, dealing with the occasional mishap and fishing line tangle, retying knots, etc. Darren just made it happen! And, he’s genuinely thrilled when one of his guests catches a fish!We didn’t worry about any of the logistics (llamas, fishing gear, tents, etc.) and he kept us very well fed.Darren is a real pro and I’m looking forward to the next trip!

As two senior women who have always loved fishing, we were a little unsure of what our experience would be taking a fly fishing lesson. Ben at Kirks Fly Fishing could not have done a better job. He is such a genuinely nice young man. We learned so much about fly fishing in a very hands on way, i.e., tying knots and viewing flys and the bugs and larva they imitate. We were taken to an amazingly beautiful place on the river. Ben was very patient, kind and attentive. I caught a large Rainbow Trout and Liz caught two small and one large Rainbow. We were ecstatic! We plan to come back next year for another fly fishing lesson with Ben. Thanks Ben! Kathy (&Liz)

First time in Estes Park. Wanted to fly fish local waters and decided to hire a guide from Kirk's to get a lay of the land. So glad I did! Great service the minute I walked in the door. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Booked a 4 hour trip for the following morning. Met my guide (Ken?) at the shop and after some formalities, we decided to fish the canyon. Love fishing pocket water and I wasn't disappointed. Landed several beautiful rainbow and brown trout. Just a great day all around and Kirk's made it happen. Highly recommend Kirk's if you're looking for quality guides and a fully stocked fly shop!!

Great experience! We caught several fish on our 4 hour trip. Our guide Greg knew his stuff and was super easy to get along with. Read your emails from the shop before you get there. They give you all the important details beforehand that will save you time and money. Highly, highly recommend.

We had a perfect full day and guided hike with Andy. From the moment he let us sniff the evergreen sap I knew he was the perfect guide for us. He pointed out medicinal plants, native animal species, spoke to the rich Native American history of the park, and was very knowledgable about RMNP and Colorado in general. We had a great 8 hours and 10+ miles of trail filled with stunning skies and beautiful waters. Thanks Kirks, and a big thanks to Andy for being a great human.

What an amazing day fly fishing with my guide Andrew. I'm a fairly experienced fisherand wanted to learn more. Andrew got me on to a lot of fish and taught me some fundamentals correcting ineffective habits I had developed over the years. He was knowledgeable and encouraging and we had a great day together. Even saw a bear cub and hooked two fish at once. Wow!
