About Us

About Fly Fishing Estes Park

We, at Fly Fish Estes Park, have a singular goal: to cultivate a deep love for outdoor adventures and fly fishing by providing exceptional service and instruction in a fun, safe, and sustainable manner.

Having accumulated over fifteen years of experience guiding for the Big Box fly shops in town like Kirk’s Fly Shop and the Estes Angler, we, as a team, recognized a missing element. We took the opportunity to focus solely on guided fly fishing instruction and backcountry trips, eliminating distractions and unnecessary costs associated with private water, upcharges for gear, and high pressure sales.

This mission statement empowers each of our highly skilled local guides to devote their undivided attention to ensuring our clients receive the utmost level of customer service and instruction. Every trip is customized to meet the unique needs of each individual guest.

We, at Fly Fish Estes Park, eagerly anticipate the chance to meet each new client and assist them in rediscovering their passion for the outdoors. Our aim is to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Giving Back to the Estes Park Community

FFEP Clear Water Program

Fly Fish Estes Park LLC is proud to partner with the City of Loveland Parks and Open Space to promote our shop’s “Clear Water Program”.

For one day each month we close up shop and the entire FFEP Family heads out to help remove trash and debris from the Big Thompson River at Viestenz-Smith Mountain Park and other local fisheries. This helps to ensure the rivers and lakes we all rely on are being protected for the next generation of anglers!

To date we have helped to remove more than 1 Ton of trash and flood debris from our local waterways, lakes, and parks!

​*If you would like more information about our clean-up dates, or to volunteer your time and help with a great cause, please call us at: (970)-702-4986 We look forward to hearing from you!!
