Back Country Hiking/Fishing
Guided Backcountry Hiking & Fly Fishing — Fryingpan Wilderness, Colorado
For anglers who want to get completely off the beaten path, Glenwood Springs Outdoors offers guided backcountry hiking and fly fishing trips into the high-mountain lakes and creeks of the Fryingpan Wilderness. With our permits, we can access remote waters that most anglers never reach — pristine alpine environments where the scenery is spectacular and the fishing is as wild as it gets.
These trips are ideal if you're looking for a full day adventure away from crowds, roads, and other anglers. Expect a rewarding hike in through stunning Colorado mountain terrain, followed by a day of fly fishing for wild trout in crystal-clear high-country streams and lakes. Our guides know these areas intimately and will put you in the right spots while making sure you have a safe, memorable day in the backcountry.
Be prepared to walk — the journey is part of the experience. In return, you'll fish waters that rarely see pressure, in some of the most beautiful wilderness in western Colorado. We recommend a full day to make the most of the travel and time on the water.
Give the shop a call and we'll match you with a guide who knows these areas well and will make it a great day.
