Harcourt Fly Fishing

Harcourt Fly Fishing guides the Roaring Fork valley from a base at 494 Rio Grande in New Castle, Colorado, serving the water around Glenwood Springs, Basalt and Aspen. Float trips cover four to seven miles of river in a day. Wade and shore trips run on private ranch spring creeks, including a four-hour spring creek option for anglers who want a shorter outing, and hike-in trips reach high-country water above the valley floor. Rods, reels, waders and boots are supplied, flies are included at no extra charge, and stream-side meals come with the day. Fall is singled out as a strong window, with egg patterns, beetles, mayfly nymphs and streamers doing the work, and the operation reports trout in the four to seven pound range. Guiding is done under permits from the White River National Forest, the Bureau of Land Management, Colorado State Parks and the US Forest Service.
