The office staff was amazingly cordial and helpful. Our guide Brian was extremely knowledgeable about where to fish and what lures and colors to use. I definitely highly recommend Kirk’s fly fishing. Thanks for a great time.

Rented two fishing rods while visiting the area. The young lady that assisted us pick the flies and rods was very knowledgeable and helpful. The rental price was very reasonable too. We got to fish around the Colorado river at RMNP and had a blast!

My husband rented some fly fishing gear, the man that helped him was very patient, kind and knowledgeable.However, his waders had a hole in them and filled with water, they gave us a refund for the rental, but I would just make sure next time that we check for holes before renting.Also, I think next time I will book him a guided fishing trip, the only reason we didn’t this time is because we wanted to take our 2 year old fishing with us.

Jarvis and Ben took us on a fishing adventure on the Colorado river near Hot Sulfur Springs. Their knowledge, patience and excitement made it an amazing experience. We were able to work the river and creek with ease, and learned new techniques to take with us for future use. They both were laid back yet eager to answer our questions. We all caught fish and had a life changing experience. We went back the following days and kirks fly shop hooked us up with flies to catch brook trout. Great place.

We were visiting Colorado from Georgia this week for a my son’s graduation trip. We booked a guide trip with Kirks Fly Shop in Grand Lake. From the time we walked in the doors, everyone was so pleasant and helpful. Everything went smoothly from beginning to end. The process of getting our Colorado fishing license took just a few minutes. Ben S. was our guide and we could have not asked for a better one! He paid close attention to detail while instructing us but still made it fun and light. He was very knowledgeable and spent extra time with our son (who is an avid fisherman at home) to make sure he caught the most and biggest fish possible. We will definitely be booking again when we are back in Colorado!

Just did a 4 hour lake trip with guide Ben Granger. I caughtt in five Lake Trout. One was 23" long!What areas trip and knowledge that I received from the guide alone was worth it.

Brian from Kirks Flyshop was our guide for my six year old son's first ever fishing trip. I really couldn't have asked for anything more, and I know my son is now "hooked" on fishing. He keeps asking when we're going to go out on the lake or a river again...Brian was great: he was super patient and thorough with my son, answered the endless questions, and even managed to find us a few fish despite a fairly windy and so-so weather day. Just a great and memorable day all around. Can't recommend Brian and Kirks Flyshop highly enough!

We went on a four hour guided fishing trip with Brian and our family had a blast. Brian was so kind and great with the kids. It was our first time fishing and we had so much fun. The shop was so accommodating and patient with us. Special thanks to Angela for all her help. We will certainly be back!

We booked a 4 hour lake fishing trip last July. Our guide Ryan was great. We went earlier in the morning than we had scheduled as he suggested and it really paid off. Everyone caught good fish and we limited out on lake trout very quickly. The kids had a blast and Ryan was great with them. We will schedule a guided trip with Kirks every time we are in Grand Lake on vacation.

Six stars. Ben guided me on a wonderful afternoon of fishing. I have physical limitations, but I wanted to fish the Colorado River in Kawuneeche Valley one more time for sentimental reasons. Ben was patient with me – and even promised to carry me out if I couldn’t make it. (Dream on, Ben – you aren’t THAT strong!) He gave me some good tips on bad habits I had developed over the years, but wasn’t critical when I went right back to my old way. He was tremendously supportive and positive. We caught a bright, iridescent brook trout – a difficult guarantee to fulfill on a small piece of low water, especially with my casting style. Thanks again, Ben! Mission accomplished!

Phillip took my son Aaron and I out. We had a blast! He set us up and brought us to a great area just inside the park to learn. He taught us throughout the day and put us in more challenging conditions as we improved. Aaron and I caught 61 brookies! Thank you Phillip!

We would highly recommend using Kirk's Flyshop. Ryan our fishing guide was amazing. He was knowledgeable and very informative about the area and the lakes. He made sure that we had everything that we needed for a successful fishing trip.
