We love RIGS! Just got back from a fly fishing trip and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I brought my wife and two boys. It was our first time fly fishing and RIGS made it so much fun. We caught a ton of fish and learned a lot. Mack and Jack were our guides. They were great with our boys and took a genuine interest in them. They really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.

We want to thank David, from Rigs Fly Shop, for an incredible day out on the San Miguel catching rainbows! It was both mine and my wife’s first time fly fishing and David was extremely patient and very willing to share his vast knowledge of what could easily become our favorite way to fish. Landing my first fish on a fly rod and it being a 17in rainbow was beyond my expectations and I have David to thank for that. Also David having my wife roll casting like a seasoned fly fisherman was incredible to watch. Looking forward to taking another trip with David up to the high country soon.

We’ve always wanted to do a fly-fishing trip in this area of Colorado while visiting our son. For my husband’s birthday, we booked the High Country full-day trip for two with RIGS, conveniently located in Ridgway (close to Ouray). From booking to the end of the trip, the RIGS team was exceptional. David and Nick were professional and patient in answering all our questions, and they went out of their way to accommodate our son, a local climbing guide for Basecamp Ouray who has a busy schedule himself and was joining us last-minute—even during their busy season.
