Your Gateway to Gold Medal Waters in the Heart of Colorado

Taylor River Anglers is Harmels’ own on-site fly shop and guide service. Located at the confluence of Spring Creek and Taylor River, we have access to some of the best fishing Colorado has to offer! In 2023, Colorado Parks and Wildlife designated the Taylor River and Gunnison River as Gold Medal trout fisheries.

Our guides know this river as well as anybody and are happy to help!
