Google Review
Booked a guided tour for fly fishing with Travis Hanson a few days ago. I’ve worked with guides for fly fishing before, but I found his knowledge of not only the techniques needed for the streams we were using, but the questions posed about why certain flies were used, the conditions, and ensuring my goals for the experience were met, were not comparable. He truly loves what he does and it shows. He arrived early, prepared, and enthusiastic. All the details were covered! Travis worked hard to ensure my goals for the day were met. He’s personable, patient, and knowledgeable.
##### Brooklyn Simmons
Director
I was lucky enough to get paired up with Travis Hanson for a guided trip in nearby waters, and I couldn't have asked for a better mentor for the day! Travis is an experienced fly fisherman and an excellent teacher. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day enjoying Colorado's rugged beauty and wild trout!
##### Pat Layug
Google Review
I had an amazing day on the Eagle River with Adam—one of the best guided experiences I've ever had!
Before this trip, I had been fly fishing for a few years and felt like I had hit a plateau, not making much progress on my own. Within just the first hour or two, Adam quickly pinpointed areas where I could improve and shared valuable tips on technique and tactics that really changed the game for me. Both my friend and I caught some great-sized browns and rainbows, and I even landed a personal best!
I highly recommend this shop for guided trips, gear, and expert knowledge.
##### Apolonio Garica
Google Review
My son and I did a full day guided trip with Travis Hanson. He was fantastic. Knowledgeable, patient (it was our first time fly fishing), and great energy. Can't recommend enough. They supplied lunch and all the fishing gear, but I recommend bringing a backpack with supplies (extra water, sunscreen).

## How GuideBank Works
**Easy Online Booking | Compare Guides & Shops | GuideBank Money-Back Guarantee **
[How it Works](https://risebeyondflyfishing.com/guidebank-for-shops)
###### How do I book a trip through GuideBank?
Submit your request directly on this page. Your details go straight to the Fly Shop team, who’ll confirm guide availability and send a secure link for your deposit.
###### When is payment due?
No payment is collected at booking. Once your trip is confirmed, you’ll pay a deposit to reserve your date. The remaining balance is due the week before your trip.
###### What if the weather or flows are unsafe?
Safety always comes first. If river conditions make the trip unsafe or unfishable, the shop will reschedule your trip or issue a raincheck credit for a future date.
###### Can I book for a group?
Yes. Most shops can accommodate groups just include how many anglers you’ll have when you fill out your booking request, and they’ll match you with the right number of guides or boats.
###### Do I need a fishing license?
Yes. A valid state fishing license is required for all anglers. You can usually buy one online through [Colorado Parks & Wildlife](https://cpw.state.co.us/) or directly at the fly shop.
###### What’s included in a guided trip?
Each shop provides its own gear and amenities, but most trips include a professional guide, flies, leaders, and tippet. You’ll usually need to bring a valid fishing license, personal gear, and any food or drinks for the day.
