As a rookie Saltwater Fly fisherman a buddy recommended that I go to FRA and get geared up. I have been lucky enough to have Rob and another staff member help me on multiple occasions, pick out flies leaders clothes. Rob has been invaluable with respect to gear selection, he hand picked flies and has provided great advice. Great shop, great guys working at the shop, who are knowledgeable and really helpful.
If I ever own a fly shop, I want it to look like this. Outside is way cool and in a sweet location. Inside is a fly fisher's dream, or nightmare. Nightmare being that you can't just go in Rodney Dangerfield in Back To School and just buy one of everything. On the other hand, it gives us something to save for.
Their selection on rods and reels are way up there and their apparel is all one would ever need. I didn't realize they sold tying materials, and that's when I got in trouble. I went in to buy Gink, and accidentally spent $100.
Very nice shop. Plenty of top notch gadgets and I went here for my first fly fishing rod and some flys, the guy at the front counter was super helpful and gave me recommendations on flys to buy for local rivers that worked for him and was very informative and gave me great information. Left the shop super happy with my purchases and really excited to get out there and enjoy the sport some more.
Great staff & store! Steve & Tyler were a huge help in getting me set up with a fly rig. Highly recommend for all your fly fishing needs. The tours look amazing as well!
We booked a guided trip through Front Range Anglers, and I would highly recommend doing so! Our guides, Tim and Colton, were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. It was 3 total beginners and one person who had a basic knowledge, and everyone had a good time. Not only did we have fun, we took away knowledge and techniques that will serve us as we continue to fish.
Helpful staff but they also know how to give you enough space so that you can do your own shopping as well
Our party of six had an outstanding time on our 1/2 day trip with guides Christian and Jacob. We were all novices and the guides were helpful with getting us started on basic techniques. There was plenty of communication prior to the trip from the lead guide so any questions we had were answered thoroughly and we felt confident about the trip by the time we met up on the day of. We caught a total of six fish so to these first-timers that was a successful day! They took us to two different spots and kept us fishing even though the weather did not cooperate with us for the first hour or so. They would scout out "good" spots and move us around a bit when they thought it would be helpful. They constantly rotated around to each person to check on us. They described the habitat and behavior of the fish we were looking for and if I do go fly fishing again I feel I have a good basic knowledge of the sport. All four adults in the group agreed it was a fun trip and a good vacation adventure!
I would like to add we had a young teen and a 7-y/o with us and the guides were very attentive and helpful with the youngsters in the group.
What a great store and wonderful experience. I am completely new to fly fishing, and aside from watching a few YouTube videos, I have had zero instruction in fly fishing. That changed when I met with Steve at Front Range Anglers. Steve helped me understand my new fly outfit, asked the right kind of questions about what fish I was looking for, then selected 3 flies for me to go out on the pond next to my house and just have fun learning to fly fish. I tried the flies out yesterday and wow he was right on the money. I spent only about 30 minutes at the pond, but caught 4 fish. I m definitely hooked on fly fishing now. Definitely recommend checking this store out you ll get all the help you need and excellent service.
Had an amazing 1/2 day with Wallace from Front Range Anglers learning a ton from a patient and seasoned veteran. Caught several brown trout which added to the experience. This exposure was exactly what I needed to seek out more instruction. Thanks again Wallace and Front Range Anglers!
We had an AMAZING day fishing! Our guide, Tyler, was very patient and a great teacher. We both caught about 14 fish total and had many more nibbles! Tyler was very knowledgeable with the River, the Fish and the 'flies'. The staff were great with their customer service and communications, which was a great help as we booked from out of state. It was a true "bucket list" experience. I highly recommend this Fly Fishing Guide company when you are in Boulder, CO!
