Our guide Rick was able to teach an old salty, deep south Louisiana marsh and gulf fisherman how to fly fish on the South Platte River. Rick's instruction of technique, knowledge of the river and flies to use was masterful. I highly recommend this team if you want an experience of a lifetime, even for an ole salty water fisherman.

Our 2 grandsons, ages 14 and 16, were visiting us and we signed them up for the 4 hour Fly Fishing Class. Their instructor was Rodney. He was great! He gave them lots of attention and help. They both had a great experience and now love fly fishing!

Been a dream of mine for years to come to Colorado and fly fish. My wife and I had the best time with Rodney on Dream Stream. He was super knowledgable about the river and the area and made it easy for us to meet up to get to our spot. He was well prepared and had every fly we needed to catch fish and then some. We hooked some big ones and even landed some too! lol But seriously, Call Rodney at South Platte Fly Shop in Woodland Park. He's just one of those guys that's easy to talk to and you feel like he's been a friend for years. Call and book a trip with him, and go ahead and book your next time too.Rodney, Thanks for the tips on the views in Eleven Mile Canyon and the BBQ. Lets fish THERE next time!

Fished the Dream Stream section of the South Platte with my son and guide Rodney. We had a terrific time! Rodney was an awesome guide. He knew the river like it was his own home! He thinks like a trout! We caught some really beautiful fish. Rodney was super attentive and helpful but also giving you space when you wanted. He is a personable guy and really enhances the enjoyment of fishing in that beautiful place by sharing his knowledge in a friendly and relaxed way. If you fish with the South Platte Fly shop, definitely ask for Rodney. It’s like fishing with an old friend!

Went on a guided trip with Rodney at the dream stream on the south platte river and had an amazing day of fishing. In addition to putting my father and I on lots of large trout, Rodney gave great instructions/advice about various fly casts, fly selection, reading the water, and techniques to land powerful trout. In particular, he spent a great deal of time helping me improve my role cast. Rodney is also just a generally cool/fun guy to fish with/talk to. I definitely recommend Rodney!

South Platte Fly Shop is a great shop! Friendly and helpful staff.My son and I took the 4-hour "Intro to Fly Fishing" class. Rodney took us to Decker’s. We were just hoping to maybe catch one fish a piece if lucky while learning to fly fish. We caught 8 fish between us and even had a couple of last second get aways. Rodney did an excellent job of instruction! But, he also set us up to catch some fish! We had a great time and a great memory of learning to fly fish together!Thank you Rodney and South Platte Fly Shop! We will be back soon!

Rick was a wonderful guide this morning! He is full of knowledge and very personable. We've never fly fished before and caught 5 total with a few that got away. It was a great experience overall!

Wife and I took a 4-hour "intro to fly fishing" course with Rodney and had a great time and caught some nice trout! Rodney is a really great guide and is extremely patient and personable. He took the time to teach us everything we needed to go out solo next time, highly recommend him and the South Platte Fly Shop!

We had a full day trip that was spent in the deckers area. Our guide was Kyle and he killed it. My brother in law had never fly fished before except for maybe 30 minutes a couple days before our trip and he ended up catching a lot of fish!! I had set a couple goals in my head for the day for brownies and dry fly catching and Kyles know how and fly selection had me on a fish almost immediately after he saw the hatch! He could teach a blind person to fish guaranteed. We will be back 100%.

We had a Saturday afternoon free and, on a whim, called South Platte Fly Shop to ask about a last minute guided fly fishing trip on the South Platte River (outside of Colorado Springs). The guys there were fantastic. They took my number, made some calls, found us an amazing guide (Austin), and got us out next day for an afternoon on the river. Couldn't ask for more. The shop itself if beautiful. Great gear and vibes. As for our trip, we hit the river right on time and Austin really knew the spots. His ability to spot fish was uncanny. Caught a bunch of trout, including an 18" Rainbow. Definitely recommend these guys. We can't wait to come back.
