Professionalism and experience are at the foundation of Vail Valley Anglers. But a little variety is also one of their hallmarks, with traditional wade and float trips available along with specialty excursions. Their shop is Actively Green certified as an extension of their values in environmental stewardship, and they also have an online shop, which they keep stocked to the gills.

“We have been guiding in the valley for over 25 years,” said Vail Valley Anglers guide Ray Kyle. “And we always provide 100 percent satisfaction, guaranteed.”
