I recommend hiring Josh Frank to guide you on your fly fishing adventure. We had a great time and my kids have already asked to go fly fishing again. My son (age 8), daughter (age 10) and I were all new to fly fishing. Josh Frank took us a scenic spot with water that was age/experience appropriate. While we were there we experienced a hatch and caught fish while learning the basics.Josh was patient while demonstrating how to spot and work a seam, dead drift, and both cast with nymph and a dry fly. He was eager to explain how the river cycled through the year and different techniques. It was the right level of detail and experience for our capabilities.

Winter Park Flyfisher's Josh Frank was an experienced, knowledgeable, and patient instructor and guide on our fly-fishing expedition! What an amazing time was had fishing the Fraser River on Granby Ranch! I highly recommend Josh Frank and Winter Park Flyfisher. August 23, 2023.

I visited my son in Winter Park for a few days and didn't know anything about the area. The guys in the shop were nice enough to point me in a good direction for where to fish and what to throw. Enjoyed the wading in the area! Took a drift boat trip down the Colorado and was a wonderful experience. Zack was excellent and we connected with really nice browns on dry flies and I missed a few on streamers. Shore lunch was great and relaxing! Definitely the real deal!

Had a fishing float trip with Riley on 7/25. He took pictures for me of fish I caught on his phone and said he would send them to me. He never did, even after I asked him several times, I even called the shoo. Guess I didn't give him a big enough tip, it ruined the whole experience foe me.

I'm a true beginner. Ephraim was a great guide for me. Hopefully, I spelled his name right. He was patient and explained so many aspects of fly fishing. We worked quite a few spots on the river. I missed a few bites but in the end I caught my very first brown trout!!! I'll be back!!!

We had a great day of fishing with Josh on the Colorado River. He knew how to read the river and what lures to use. That led to landing 10 fish and striking a lot more. It was a great pleasure having him for a guide.

We were enjoying a family vacation the 2nd week in July at Winter Park and decided to book a drift boat trip for my son and myself on the Colorado River with our guide Ross Kaslow. I have many years of experience with a fly rod and trout fishing, my son this was his first outing with a fly rod. Ross was very patient in pointing out the use of the rod and truth be told I learned a thing or two. Ross's skill with his oarsmanship and approach to safety was 2nd to none. Needless to say, the beauty of the mountains and river added to the experience along with the many browns and a nice rainbow that were brought to boat and released. My son learned many tips during the day and caught several browns along the way. If you enjoy the outdoors, enjoy flyfishing, and enjoy the challenge that awaits with the Colorado River don't hesitate to give it a go. Truly a 5-star experience.

Ben Kuhnel was our guide. He took us to a beautiful spot and we caught some nice rainbows. I would totally recommend using Winter Park Flyfisher and Ben specifically. We had a blast!

We are 3 newbie fly fishermen from out of state. Found out about the big snow melt shortly before coming to Fraser and were concerned about the impact on fishing. We booked a wading trip with Winter Park Flyfisher and our guide was Josh. He was great. He took us to a spot he knew that was calm enough for us to wade in and not too crazy. He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot. And we caught some fish! All in all a great day!

Went out on a guide trip wirh Josh Frank, he was amazing. He helped me get a better understanding of casting and how to read the water. Extremely patient and explained things thoroughly but also broke it down in simple and easy to understand ways. Can't wait to go back out with Josh again.Everyone in the fly shop is extremely helpful, never pushy. I like how they break things down for rookies like me.

Josh Frank was perfect at what he does best.(Two Army buddies connecting after a decade apart. Celebrating retirement after 23 years of service with my homeboy.One completely new to fly fishing and one with limited water time)Best guide I’ve had in a long long time. Patient, motivated, knowledgeable, and fun to be with. We met at a great link up location- headed 30 minutes north to a perfect spot. Public water with temperatures in the low teens. Hiked into our stop and started living out best lives. Thanks again Josh - we’ll be back.-? & Dave

I fished with Josh last week. This wasn't my first time to fish with him. It is always such a great experience. He put us in a gorgeous private location and on the fish. Great guide and fly shop and I will continue using both in the future.
