wolf creek anglers

A few weeks ago, I was visiting some family in Creede, CO. I was incredibly excited to have a chance to fish the waters in the area, and figured I would just stop by a fly-shop for some advice. The Orvis endorsed shop in Creede was closed--for the season (weird), and the shop across the street was worthless. "None of us have fished in 2 weeks, it's hunting season."Frustrations mounting, I started looking up shops that I could call. No one could seem to provide me with any accurate advice, until I called Wolf Creek. I don't remember the gentlemans name, as it was a few weeks ago, but he proceeded to talk to me for almost 15 minutes developing a strategy to fish the local waters. He made numerous suggestions of where to go, what to fish with, and what to expect. We ended up catching a bunch of fish that day, and it's because Wolf Creek Anglers took the time to know whats going on in their area and dispense extremely helpful and useful advice. I've never even set foot in the shop, or purchased anything. However, rest assured when I return to fish again, not only will WCA be getting my business, but I owe someone in there a couple of cold beers. Would HIGHLY recommmend this shop.

We took our second guided float trip with Wolf Creek Anglers this past August, '12. Absolutely a blast! Great fun! Our first trip was in August, 2011, and even though we had only signed up for a half day trip, our guide spent a good 30-40 minutes teaching my wife how to handle a fly rod, as she had never done so before, and he still gave us a solid half day on the Rio Grande River. We have easily caught our limit both years. If you are unfamiliar with trout fishing but want to give it a try, I can't recommend Wolf Creek Anglers strongly enough. They are completely at home with novices, and will never make you feel foolish for having a pile of line tangled at your feet.The Rio Grande River runs right through South Fork, CO. It is one of the state's "gold medal" streams, meaning it is loaded with fish, mostly brown & rainbow trout. Wolf Creek Anglers runs out of their Wolf Creek Fly Shop on Hwy 160 going East out of town. Both years we have used Tyson Waren as our guide, and I recommend him highly. He uses a very nice rigid rubber boat for his float trips and supplies all the equipment you will need. All you need to buy is a fishing license (available at the shop, or up the road at Rainbow Grocery).I also recommend you call ahead to make a reservation: 719-873-1414. They also have a shop & guide service that runs out of Pagosa Springs, but I have no experience with them. Besides their float trips (easy, dry & fun) they also offer standard wading trips if you are more adventurous. Check out www.wolfcreekanglers.com, & good fishing!
