First PrizeRoyal Gorge Anglers' Half and Half Float/Wade Trip for Two on the Arkansas River |

We start with a morning wade trip beginning at Arkansas River Tours in Cotopaxi at 7:30 AM. This portion of the trip lets you shake loose the cobwebs and concentrate on the great early morning dry fly fishing. At noon, you are free to spend a few hours on your own relaxing during the heat of the afternoon, or pursuing Browns rising to hoppers along shorelines. Meet us at 4:30 for an evening float donated by Bill Hamel/Arkansas River Tours, using large dries and streamers--the best of both worlds and you'll love it. You'll need to provide your own flies and lunch. Mid June through August. Guide gratuity not included – Trip scheduled on an “as date available” basis.
