About Hookers Fly Shop
Hookers Fly Shop is a dedicated fly fishing shop and guide service located downtown at 719 Grand Avenue in Glenwood Springs. A genuinely local operation, it equips anglers with top-of-the-line fly rods, reels, and an extensive selection of flies tied for the surrounding Gold Medal waters.
The shop holds a distinction few outfitters can claim: it is one of the only companies permitted to guide fly fishing trips inside Glenwood Canyon itself, offering access to a remarkably scenic and productive stretch of the Colorado River. Hookers runs an entirely catch-and-release operation, reflecting a strong conservation ethic, and guides wade and float trips across the Roaring Fork, Colorado, and Frying Pan Rivers for anglers of every experience level.
Beyond guided outings, the storefront is a hub for local knowledge — staff are happy to share current hatch reports, recommend productive runs, and outfit visitors with everything from leaders and tippet to waders. For travellers who want to fish the canyon under the guidance of a permitted local expert, or simply restock their fly box with regionally proven patterns, Hookers is a downtown institution.
