Royal Gorge Anglers, Cañon City

One of the best fly shops you’ll ever set foot in. These guys know their stuff. Owner is super cool and generous with what he shares. This is my local shop and I barely go here. I think that’s a testament to their knowledge and willingness to share the “keys to success.” They have it all in terms of product, and if they don’t they will work with you to get it. I’ve been more than happy with everything I’ve been recommended here. The customer service is some of the best I’ve ever encountered, fly shop or not. They want you to have fun and succeed out there. Super dedicated people and I can tell they are passionate about what they do. Hoping to take a guided float one of these days but for now this is my first stop for anything I want to know about the Arkansas River or surrounding areas. Lifelong support coming from me.

I've gone on a couple of guided trips with these guys now, and they are the best in the area. Pat is a legit guide and a great guy to spend the day on the river learning from. Highly recommend
