About RIGS Fly Shop & Guide Service
RIGS Fly Shop & Guide Service operates out of the historic Old School House building in Ridgway, Colorado, roughly 35 minutes from Telluride and perfectly positioned between the San Miguel, Uncompahgre, Gunnison, and Dolores river systems. The full-service fly shop stocks rods, reels, flies, waders, and accessories from top brands, and their knowledgeable staff provide daily fishing reports and stream-condition updates.
Guided trips cover an impressive range of water, from technical tailwaters and gold-medal trout streams to remote backcountry creeks and high-alpine lakes accessible only on foot. Half-day and full-day wade trips are their bread and butter, but they also run float trips and multi-day pack-in expeditions for anglers who want a true wilderness fishing experience. All guides are experienced, insured, and deeply familiar with southwestern Colorado hatches and water conditions.
RIGS has built a loyal following over the years thanks to honest fishing reports, expert fly selection advice, and guides who care as much about teaching as they do about catching. Their location at the crossroads of four major river drainages means they can always find productive water regardless of season or runoff conditions.
