About Mountain Angler
Mountain Angler is Breckenridge's premier fly fishing shop and guide service, located on South Main Street in the heart of town. For decades, they have been the go-to resource for anglers looking to fish the Gold Medal waters of the Blue River, as well as streams and lakes throughout Summit County, the Vail Valley, and the surrounding high country. Their retail shop stocks a comprehensive selection of rods, reels, flies, waders, and accessories from top brands.
Their guide service offers half-day and full-day guided fly fishing trips tailored to all skill levels, from absolute beginners who have never cast a line to seasoned anglers targeting trophy trout. Trips cover the Blue River (which flows right through Breckenridge), the Eagle River, various alpine lakes, and backcountry streams that most visitors would never find on their own. Guides provide all equipment, flies, and local knowledge — guests just need a Colorado fishing licence.
What makes Mountain Angler a Breckenridge institution is the depth of their local expertise. The staff are not just salespeople — they are avid anglers who fish these waters year-round and can provide real-time reports on hatches, water levels, and which stretches are producing. Their combination of a fully stocked shop, expert guide service, and genuine passion for the sport has made them a trusted name in Colorado fly fishing for years.
