Welcome to ArkAnglers!

Hard to believe that September is upon us, with leaves already changing and temperatures on the decline.  Our resilient brown trout are in extremely good shape heading into fall, due to strong hatches and lower flows through the typical high-water months of summer.  We've had some phenomenal dry-fly fishing, and as we transition into September, strategies will combine dry-fly and nymphing approaches throughout the day brown trout move around to prepare for their fall spawn, and winter beyond.  We've already seen some strong fall blue winged olive hatches!  

Where and when to fish?  What to use?  This website is meant to help with those decisions. From the descriptions of different access points to the three reports updated almost daily, it is our hope that you will find the information herein to be both timely and accurate. For questions or to make guide trip reservations, one can email us from the site or call us at 719-539-4223. And, of course, our two fly shops in Salida and Buena Vista stand ready, seven days a week, to provide hands-on instruction and guidance for those who wish to venture further afield or deeper into the details. 

We look forward to fishing with you!
