Guides
The people rowing your boat.
Every Kestrel guide lives in the valley, holds a Colorado guide registration, and is certified in swiftwater rescue and wilderness first aid.

Guide · since 2019
Ties most of our flies over the winter. Beginners' favorite.
Our job isn't to catch fish. It's to make sure you go home wanting to come back.
