What Equipment Do You Need?

One of the first things you need to acquire if you want to go fly fishing is a license. You can purchase a single-day, multi-day, or annual fishing license through the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website. If you forgot to buy this before you arrive, you can also get one in person from an authorized fishing license retailer like Breckenridge Outfitters and Mountain Angler.


In terms of
fishing equipment, your list should include fishing rods, lines, reels, flies, and more. The type of equipment you use will depend on what you're trying to catch and the type of conditions you're fishing in. You'll also want to make sure you wear the proper clothing, like moisture-wicking fabrics and waders, which can be rented from local fishing shops.
