About ArkAnglers
ArkAnglers is Central Colorado's premier fly-fishing shop and guide service, with a Salida location on West US Highway 50 alongside its sister store in Buena Vista. For years the shop has been the region's authority on the Arkansas River — a Gold Medal trout fishery — and the surrounding tailwaters, stillwaters, and high mountain streams of the Upper Arkansas Valley.
The shop stocks a deep selection of rods, reels, flies, and gear, and its guides run wade trips and float-fishing excursions tailored to anglers of every level. Beginners can book casting lessons and introductory outings, while experienced fly fishers rely on ArkAnglers for up-to-the-minute hatch reports, guided drift-boat floats through Browns Canyon, and access to private and public water. Half-day and full-day trips run through the season, with instruction woven into every guided experience.
ArkAnglers stands out for its unmatched local knowledge and full-service approach — a true fly shop where the same team that ties the flies and reads the river also guides you down it. That combination of retail expertise and on-water instruction has made it the trusted name for fly fishing in the Salida area.
