Ratings & Reviews Summary in Colorado

AI ReviewAI Generated Review Summary

Fishing in Colorado offers diverse opportunities across mountain streams, alpine lakes, and major reservoirs, targeting trout, walleye, white bass, pike, bass, kokanee salmon, and lake trout. Anglers experience both traditional boat fishing and specialized fly fishing adventures, with techniques ranging from bottom bouncing and snap jigging on waters like Boyd Lake and North Sterling Reservoir to expert fly casting instruction on the Fraser River and South Park region. Ice fishing provides winter opportunities with consistent trout catches. Guides demonstrate remarkable patience with beginners and families, creating educational experiences that help novice anglers learn casting techniques, fly selection, and local fishing methods. Many guests report catching limits or losing count of their fish, with successful trips on Blue Mesa Reservoir, Rifle Gap, Harvey Gap, and Navajo Lake. The combination of professional expertise and personable instruction makes trips enjoyable for all skill levels, while well-equipped boats and quality gear enhance success rates throughout the season.

We had a great time with the company again! This was our second trip we booked with them and it went great. Our guide Carl was there and ready when we arrived, and we started catching fish immediately after hitting the water. We didn’t get the monster we were hoping for this time but we caught 5 different species in only 3 hours! What a great way to spend the afternoon!

My hunt with J&B Outfitters was outstanding. Bryce Nunnery's guidance was invaluable, and the overall experience was top-notch. I highly recommend J&B Outfitters for anyone looking for a memorable Colorado hunting trip.
