The Taylor Creek Fly Shop is located less than 30 minutes from Aspen. Situated on the bank of the renowned Fryingpan River in Basalt, we are western Colorado's oldest and friendliest guide service and specialty fly shop.
To say my day was exceptional does NOT do it justice. As a newbie angler I was fortunate enough to visit and fish with the Taylor Creek team.
First impression was a meticulous shop of which was very obvious that the entire team shares an unparalleled passion for this sport/ lifestyle.
Scott and his colleagues were welcoming, informative, and just genuine good guys to chat with.
Then came the main card. We were paired up with “the guide named Brandon”……Turns out Brandon is Basalt fishing royalty.😂
His knowledge of the river, fish, and history of the area made it feel like I was taking a masterclass. On top of that all Brandon is a really good guy and helped an elementary skilled fisherman land countless fish with ease and was patient with all of my flubs.
Thank you again to the entire team of Taylor Creek.
I am counting down the days to my return.

Jerry Pazar was an amazing guide! We did a walk and wade trip, caught many beautiful Browns and my first cutbow, and a large one! If you want to learn how to site fish successfully and catch a bunch of fish, Jerry is your guide! 90 percent of the fish we caught were on dries with epic takes as well!
