The Story

2012 Orvis Outfitter of the Year. 2017 and 2018 finalist for Orvis Fly Shop of the Year. 2019 Orvis Fly Shop of the Year. While we are proud of and grateful for these recognitions, we're more proud that nearly 600 of our clients and customers have given us a 5.0 review over the last decade. From the very first contact until our clients are packing up at the end of the day, we create more than “a fishing trip.” We ensure that our customers and clients have a memorable Colorado outdoor experience with fly fishing at the center.

Angler's Covey carries a large selection of rods, reels, tackle, fly tying materials, clothing, and more to equip you for your Colorado adventure. The two casting ponds right outside our backdoor enable you to cast and compare rods before you buy. Our staff members are all avid fly fishers and are passionate about guiding you to the right gear, whether you are just starting your fly-fishing adventure or are a seasoned angler chasing that elusive fish of a lifetime.

We are licensed to guide in over 28 different locations and can offer a range of guided fly fishing experiences. Our guides have exclusive access to Elevenmile Canyon, and we're one of only two shops with guided trips to Cheesman Canyon. All of our guided trips are customizable to meet your needs: full-day or half-day trips; public or private water; corporate groups or family outings; on unique stillwaters, quiet backcountry streams, or Gold-Medal rivers. Join us on some of the most iconic waters in Colorado, all within an easy drive from Colorado Springs or Denver.

Whether you're a newcomer to the sport or an advanced fly fisher, our staff and guides work with you to make a memorable fly-fishing adventure in the Colorado outdoors. Located on Highway 24 on the west side of Colorado Springs, we're right on your way up the mountain!
