Animas River - Half Day | Wade Trip

Explore one of Colorado’s last wild freestone rivers with a full-day guided trip on the Animas River. Flowing through the heart of Durango, this river provides a local experience with opportunities to catch wild browns, rainbows, and cuttbows while enjoying mountain views, historic bridges, and dynamic river conditions. Depending on the season and water levels, your trip may be a walk-and-wade adventure or a drift through scenic stretches outside town. Trips are designed for small groups with a maximum of two people per boat and three anglers per wade guide, ensuring personalized instruction and attention for all skill levels. Trip availability and format can vary, so calling ahead to discuss current conditions and options is recommended.

The trip includes a professional fly fishing guide and all necessary equipment including rod, reel, flies, leader, and tippet. Refreshments are provided to keep you energized, and transportation options are available if needed. Guests are responsible for obtaining a valid fishing license for the state in which the trip takes place. Waders and boots are not included for walk-and-wade trips, so participants must bring their own. Guide gratuity is customary at around 20 percent of the trip total and is not included in the price. This Animas River trip is designed to provide a fun and well-organized fishing experience with expert guidance, allowing guests to enjoy one of the most scenic and dynamic rivers in Colorado.
