We had two days to fly fish in the area. After dropping in the first day and getting great advice on flies and where to go, we went back on the second day to clarify directions to a smaller creek. Both times the staff was friendly and went out of their way to help us even though we didn't buy anything on the second day. Awesome shop and staff.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Don and Braden at the Arkansas River Fly Shop. Both were informative and eager to share their experiences on the River. You want find a better fly shop or the young men who run it.

I recently had the amazing experience of a fly fishing float trip with Tres Jones as our guide, and I must say, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Tres Jones proved to be an exceptional guide, making our time on the Arkansas River an unforgettable adventure.
From the moment we started our float trip, it was evident that Tres's expertise and passion for fly fishing were unparalleled. He was not only knowledgeable about the sport but also had an infectious enthusiasm that made the entire day enjoyable. Tres's ability to teach and guide us while out on the water was truly impressive. He seamlessly balanced teaching us the finer points of fly fishing while ensuring we felt comfortable and safe throughout the journey.
One of the highlights of the trip was the abundant opportunities we had to see and catch trout throughout the day. Tres's skills in locating and helping us land fish were remarkable, creating moments that we captured in photographs and will cherish as lifelong memories. My 11-year-old son, who had minimal fly fishing experience, was able to progress significantly under Tres's guidance. His patient and engaging teaching style not only boosted my son's confidence but also made the entire day an absolute blast.
The choice of a float trip over a wading trip was definitely the right decision. It added an extra layer of adventure and excitement to the experience. Tres's ability to navigate the river and position us in prime fishing spots added to the overall success of the day.
If you're considering a fly fishing adventure, whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced angler, I wholeheartedly recommend booking a trip with Tres Jones. His expertise, teaching skills, and genuine passion for what he does are second to none. Our day on the Arkansas River with Tres was truly one for the books, and I can confidently say that we'll be returning for more unforgettable fishing experiences with him in the future.
If you're looking for an exceptional fly fishing guide who can provide a fantastic learning experience while ensuring a safe and exciting adventure, Tres Jones is the guide to choose. Don't miss the opportunity to create lasting memories and advance your fishing skills under his expert guidance.
