A guide to the guides with maps and service links
The Roaring Fork River is included among Colorado’s best rivers to fish. Opportunity for incredible fishing starts at the river’s source on Independence Pass near Aspen, and ends with its confluence to the Colorado River in Glenwood Springs. Top fly fishing guides know the Roaring Fork River and are able to produce large numbers of fish on a daily basis.
One of the special things about the Roaring Fork is the fact that an angler can float or wade fish with great success. By dividing the river into sections, you can understand where the best guide is likely to be found. I divide the river into sections based on a few prominent access points. Here is the breakdown...

From Aspen to Jaffe Park wade fishing is the best way to access the Roaring Fork River. Sight fishing upstream from Jaffe Park is perhaps the best wade access this river has to offer.
From Jaffe Park to Carbondale anglers have the option to wade or float. However, because of the fast, rocky nature of the river, floating is limited to rafts only. Wade fishing around access points like Basalt and Catherine Store Bridge can provide an angler with days of opportunity.
Carbondale to Glenwood Springs
Carbondale to Glenwood Springs is nick named “Bread and Butter” and offers the most access for anglers. This prize stretch can be waded, or float fished with rafts and drift boats. The highlight of this stretch of the Roaring Fork is the incredible population of fish. It is probable that the highest population of trout in the state of Colorado exists between Carbondale and Glenwood Springs on the Roaring Fork River.
Aspen, Basalt, Carbondale, and Glenwood Springs are the best places to search for Roaring Fork River guide services. You can be sure to get the best guided trip by picking guides that have the most experience with each section.
