Colorado Guided Fishing

​

​

​

Each trip begins at the boat dock and ends at the boat dock and does not include boat launch time.  The trip cost includes all required fishing tackle, lures, fishing poles and reels appropriate for all methods of fishing (feel free to bring your own as well).  We strongly encourage catch and release. Children under age of 16 do not require a fishing license. Our insurance prohibits alcoholic beverages and controlled substances on the boat.  Federal law requires children under age 13 to wear a life jacket.  Life jackets for all clients will be available and provided by Adventure Colorado. You may bring your own life jacket if it is U.S. Coast Guard approved.  Life jackets are required on all participants in Kayak trips.  We strictly abide by all rules, laws and regulations.

​

Adventure Colorado Guided Fishing is done by casting artificial baits, or flies and/or trolling.  Common fish caught using either method are trout, small mouth bass, large mouth bass, walleye, pike and lake trout as the seasons and lakes allow.  We offer both open water boat and kayak trips.  Our objective is teaching you how to catch fish while having an enjoyable time on the boat.

Cancellations, Deposits, Refunds, Rescheduling a Trip:

​

Bad Weather:  Prior to boat launch: If the weather becomes unsafe or not fishable at our discretion the scheduled trip will not occur.  Trips may be rebooked (within the calendar year). During the trip:  if the weather becomes not fishable or unsafe (in our discretion), the trip cost will be prorated based on actual fishing time (total cost of trip divided by actual time on the lake) and paid for by cash or credit card at termination of the trip. 

​

Deposits are not refundable, however you may re-schedule another trip (within the calendar year) if cancellation is received 7 days prior to your scheduled trip date.  See Section 7 of the Client Agreement for more detailed information.

​

Cancellations of reserved/booked trips need to be made 7 days or more prior to your scheduled trip date in order to re-schedule your trip for another date. (excluding unforeseen emergencies) and will be considered on a case by case basis.

​

* Any refund will reflect a deduction of 8% of the original total cost of the trip.  This is a cancellation fee and is necessary to cover the cost of credit card processing.  You can avoid this fee by re-scheduling your trip.

​

​

Items you should consider bringing or MUST bring:

​

Colorado weather can be very unpredictable. Appropriate clothing, some type of rain gear if available.  Always bring warm clothing.   A brimmed hat, polarized sunglasses, bug repellent and sunscreen are strongly recommended.  

 

A valid Colorado Fishing License (age 16 or older) for each angler is required. Park entry passes are required for some of the lakes.  If you don't have a annual park pass, daily passes are available at the park entrance and payment can be made by cash.  Self-serve credit card readers are available at some of the park entrances.  It is advisable to bring cash (exact amount) to pay for day passes (in case the card readers are not working or are not available).  Day passes are usually around $7.00 to $10.00.

 

Please plan to arrive at the appropriate lake boat dock at least 15 minutes before your scheduled trip start time so the trip may start on time.

​

Other items you may want to bring:

​

Bring light snacks, non-alcoholic beverages and/or lunch appropriate for boating. You are welcome to use some or all of your own fishing equipment if it is appropriate for the lake, seasons and conditions. Bring a camera, note pad, or lake map. 

​

“Skunked” Fishing:

​

We strive to put every angler on fish, rare but occasionally there are days when the fish are just not biting. If our guide(s) fail to catch a fish, you can book a second outing within the calendar year at half price.
