I had a great experience with Larry in-store getting set up with some new line, leader, and tippet. As a beginner, it was nice to have someone be willing to answer simple questions and explain things clearly. I also took a fly casting lesson with the shop owner Ross and it was a fantastic experience! He was able to accommodate a private lesson during COVID and was full of energy and explained things very well. I went from not being able to cast to being able to double haul pretty well by the end of the 1 hour session. I highly recommend giving the shop a visit or taking one of their classes! Thanks yall!

Good selection and great service. These guys are always helpful with their suggestions. Keeping this noobs lines tight!

Great little fly shop, good selection with friendly knowledgeable staff...

Really friendly and helpful. Im not from the area so I asked for some ideas on how to approach streams close to Denver and they were very helpful. Completely unpretentious and obviously passionate about angling... The way fly shops ought to be. Thanks guys. Ill be back!

I was looking to build my own custom fly rod and inquired with DFS about the process. I dont think this is an endeavor I would go at alone due to all the intricacies of the project. They got me all the materials I needed to build my own rod and we started building. Super fun to fish a self made rod and DFS has been building rods for years so he knows all the tips and tricks. Good price too.

This is a great fly shop. The owner, Ross is super helpful and a real down to earth guy. Great selection of gear and great advice.

Im new to fly fishing and the guy behind the counter helped me pick out some flies for where i was going, and recommended some spots to go. Super helpful, would definitely recommend going here if youre looking for quality flies.

Helped me pick some good flies for the area. Very helpful.

Larry was super nice and helpful with fly selection. They have a great selection and all the newest stuff!

Ross and his crew all have awesome on lock. These guys are like the gurus of fishing. Super chill and always willing to help. Even his dog is cool.just kidding about that, I don’t like his dog or anyone else’s dog in Colorado, but if you need flies, guide service or gear, this is the place to go. Thanks Denver fly shop.

Gavin took the time to help me get set up. 10/10

Went in the shop knowing next to nothing about fly fishing minus a couple videos on the ole YouTube. The employee was very kind and engaging (Derek?). Almost an hour later I had a much better understanding of fly fishing, what are options to get into fly fishing and generally just a really good conversation.

First class service. Dont buy a generic kit. Go where someone can help you pick out the right things for exactly where and when you are going to fish.

Love this place ... was empty because they were attending a sports show, but super helpful and informative.

I want to applaud and thank The Denver Fly Shop for an absolutely amazing guided fly fishing trip my S.O. and I got to take. This was my Valentines Day present and I could not have asked for a better day! From the first time I set foot in DFS I have felt welcome, comfortable, and not the least bit embarrassed about being a novice angler. Ross has been great. A huge shout out, though, goes to our guide, Shane. We spent 8 hours on the South Platte with Shane. He was a great teacher, informative, patient, and so much fun. We had a killer day and wound up with 9 fish in the net, lost a few good ones, and went home with a wealth of new knowledge and a contagious excitement. This already surpassed all expectations, but what has been even more awesome is that we have pestered Shane with additional questions, after he was off the clock with us. He has answered them all with the same enthusiasm he shared with us on the trip. Its so cool to be able to spend a day learning so much and having such a good time. Thank you, Denver Fly Shop, Shane, and Ross. You all have a great thing going. I highly recommend!! Tammy H

I took a fly tying class with Ross! I had never tied a fly before and he walked me through the tools and basics of fly tying. At the end of the class I walked out with two wooly booger flys that I tied on my own (with coaching and guidance from Ross). Had lots of fun and will definitely be back to learn more!

Love this spot. They know their flies and always give solid advice.

Just went in this morning with not much knowledge on the waders and boots I need. They had me fixed up in minutes. Talked a little fishing. It was a awesome experience.

Very knowledgeable staff,friendly with great service. If youve not fished this area before you must see these guys first!! Edit 3 days later and an amazing day with guide Charlie!!

Went out with Spencer on a full day to Deckers and could not be happier with the experience. Not only is he an expert photographer, he is a great teacher. Im fairly experienced in fly fishing, but Spencer taught me a great deal about sight fishing. If you decide to fish the local rivers, I highly recommend Spencer. Thanks for great time and experience. Ill never forget that take on the hopper!

This shop is AWESOME! Something you cant find at another shop? Stop in and I bet Ross has one!!!! He had the red and black superhair and the white fluoro-fibre other shops said was back ordered. A truly Colorado experience

Came here to buy a RepYourWater shirt, service was quick and easy and the guy there was chill and helpful

Had a great half day at Deckers with Shane. He tailored our time towards what I wanted to get out of the trip and focused on technique (casting, line management, selecting water and drift depth etc.) over simply landing fish. We fished nymphs, but he made a point of adding a dry-fly casting lesson at the end, and we even turned over some rocks so he could explain the entomology of sport!Ross was super helpful and accommodating when I called up the shop. Ill definitely be back!

I had a personal lesson with an instructor Jeff and his counterpart and worked with Ross and there was absolutely nothing they couldnt help with or answer. They went out of their way to teach the real fundamentals of fly fishing in a fun and personal fashion. Couldnt have asked for more and they beat by expectations by 100%. Thanks guys Ill be buying rods and lessons in the near future

Exceptional customer service. Everyone has been extremely knowledgable in their product and surrounding local fishing areas. Very happy with their service. Defiantly coming back to this shop! Thanks guys! P.S. Great advise for this weekend. Caught some beautiful brownies on your recommendations!

The store is very well equipped and basically youll be able to find anything there! However... The best part of the store is by far the staff!!! Ross is great! Always willing to give great advice! Fly tying and rod building lessons are also available and highly recommended too!!!

Ross took me and some buddies out on the South Platte and we had an awesome time. Really great dude and can tell he cares about the clients and also about the fish which is cool. Will definitely be back and using this shop for my trips.Shop itself carries a ton of Patagonia and Simms gear and the fly selection is solid.

These guys are a great resource. Gavin and Ross both want to put you on fish. Store carries great products as well. Im glad to give my money to a local company that values customer service and helping fellow anglers out.

Just a really great fly shop! They have a decent selection of fly tying materials and tools, tons of well tied flies, high quality rods and reels, and all the essential terminal tackle. Prices are pretty hard to beat as well. The best part is that these guys are incredibly courteous, knowledgable, and willing to take a minute to help you out in any way you need. Ross and Calvin are both very friendly and will make you feel right at home.

I recently decided I wanted to learn to fly fish. This shop is awesome for that. I never think about being discriminated against or talked down to for being a female angler here, in fact they are overwhelmingly the opposite. They welcome female anglers and even host a ladies night!

I have had experience with the staff at Denver Fly Shop both purchasing equipment as well as on a guide trip. I cant speak highly enough of Ross and his team. Ross displays a passion for the sport that is evident in his teaching on the water as well as a simple conversation in the shop about a piece of equipment.I hired Ross to take a buddy of mine and I out to the Dream Stream. I have fly fished for years, and my buddy had never touched a fly rod. I needed someone who could dedicate their time teaching him the right way to fly fish. Ross was able to tailor his teaching very well between an experienced fisherman and a beginner. Ross was extremely patient with my buddy and explained step by step, not only the how tos of fly fishing, but why he was doing what he was doing. His knowledge of the river as well as the entomology (science of bugs) proved to be a great resource. Ross was extremely attentive and focused on making both of us better. There are no dumb questions with Ross.Great store, great people.

Every time I come in I get good advice and great gear. Always appreciate the staff and selection!

Stopped in for the first time when in Denver a couple weeks ago. They were nice folks and helped me pick out some new flies to try. They were the most expensive flies I have ever purchased so I had to take off a star. Despite this I will probably stop by the next time I am in the neighborhood.

Just found this place yesterday. My new go to shop. I was really impressed by the selection and the prices. Spencer was very helpful and friendly. Huge selection of flies and kebari. Cant wait to go again.

My favorite fly shop. Went on a guide trip and caught the biggest trout of my life. Staff is great and very helpful. Definitely recommend a guided trip. Great experience.

Ross and the crew are top notch. Tons of great gear and a huge assortment of flies specifically tailored to Colorado waters. Planning a spring guided trip with them that I cant wait for!

I booked a guide trip with Gavin when my Dad came to visit and it was amazing! They provided all the gear he needed and brought extra in case sizes didnt work. Learned so much and had a blast! Had a chance to meet everyone at the shop the following week and they are a stand up crew. Extremely helpful and excited to get people fishing. Wouldnt go to any other shop! Buy local!!

Nice people. Friendly, willing to take time with folks. Engaged. You can ask them basic fishing questions and theyll take the time to explain and not make you feel stupid.

Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They dont try to sell you the most expensive equipment, but products that fit your needs. Highly recommend

The owner was very knowledgeable on the flies and situations I was asking about!

Ive know Ross (the owner) for about a year now. He knew I use to fly fish and had been trying to get me to get back into the sport. Well I finally did it. I gathered a group of other ladies and we attended a couple of the shops Ladies Night. Not only did we learn a lot but Ross give back to the community by collecting can goods on each of those nights. The ladies were so excited to try their hand, we set up a day trip with Ross, Noel and Eric as our guides. What a great day!! They provided all of the gear, tent for shade, food/beverages. We had a safety lesson, learned more about knots, leaders, how to properly cast. They were so patient with us and all of our questions. We went on the hunt for bugs to compare to the flies we were using and we spent about 4 hours on the river. What a great time! We didnt want to leave. LOL!! We will defiantly be going back for another guide trip!! I will be recommending his shop to everyone whos into the sport. Thank you again for a great experience!!

Im in Denver once a year for work and always stop in to Rosss shop. Carries Great Brands and has a great selection of products and prices. Most importantly Ross the owner is awesome, friendly guy. Buy local!!

Best fly shop in Denver. Ross, the owner, will put you on the fish and keep you on the fish. Every road fishing trip I have taken from Denver has been a huge success. Especially if you plan to fish the Eagle River, dont start fishing until you talk to these dudes.

I signed up for the start from scratch fly fishing classes, and could not be happier with the instructors, equipment, and overall service I received from this shop. They definitely value their customers.

Ross is a great guy. Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful. Every visit to his store makes my day.Highly recommended place!Jacob

I first happened into the Denver Fly Shop for their February 2017 Ladies Night. As a novice angler, getting into fly fishing can be intimidating, so I felt that this was a great way to start, and I was right! The evening was informative and fun! The experts (an entomologist from Colorado State University!), and sponsors (Umpqua!) were fabulous.I made new friends and met guides I look forward to fishing with in the future. I appreciated that the night was engaging and informative, and also that the owner, Ross, took the opportunity to gather canned goods for a food drive- he not only runs an incredible business, but an ethical one that gives back to the community. After my first great experience, my boyfriend and I returned a week later and Ross got me outfitted in my first set of waders and boots! Because Im tall with tiny feet, Im not easy to fit, but Ross made it happen. My boyfriend is an experienced fly fisherman, and was very impressed with the shop and with Rosss expertise and customer service. I am looking forward to continuing my fly fishing journey with the help of the Denver Fly Shop!

Driftless Fly Fisherman.. I stopped in as Ive never fished Colorado... Ross the Owner was extremely helpful.. I was able to catch fish at Deckers with some tips and fly recommendations by the owner... A must if your fishing unfamiliar water. This is the shop to stop at in Denver. I stopped at the Deckers fly shop to get fly recommendations ... However.. Rosss fly recommendations nailed the trout.

Got some great advice and flies that helped me catch some fish at Cheesman canyon after a sad first attempt.

Best fly shop in Denver. Extremely helpful and kind to all types of fishermen and all experience levels.

Store has everything and the folks there are super nice, knowledgeable and friendly. This will be my go to Fly gear store for sure!

Knowledgeable staff who always get me into fish!

Ross and Shane are not only experts but just great human beings. My go to for all fly fishing needs

Ross is the man!

Very knowledgeable and helpful.

Great stuff and very knowledgable
