RIGS Fly Shop & Guide Service is a full-service fly shop and outfitter at 1075 Sherman Street in Ridgway, Colorado, and it is among the larger operations in this part of the state: seventeen named guides appear on its roster, alongside a shop manager, an ecommerce and retail lead and a reservations manager. The owner, who styles himself the company’s Destination Host, is Tim Patterson, and he has been leading fly fishing, rafting and eco-tour trips since 1991. Regionally the company guides the San Miguel River, the Gunnison River including float trips through the Gunnison Gorge, the Uncompahgre, and high-country drainages around the Cimarron. It also runs destination travel well beyond Colorado, with trips to Patagonia, Alaska, Hokkaido and saltwater fisheries, so it functions as a booking agent for overseas travel as much as a local guide service.
