About our company
Some guide services exist because someone saw a business opportunity. Jackalope Anglers exists because a guide spent years fishing the best trout water in the country, discovered the Rio Grande near Del Norte, and could not stay away. What started as a deep personal connection to a river that most Colorado anglers had overlooked became a professional commitment to sharing that river with anyone willing to make the drive south and spend a day on the water with someone who genuinely loves it. That is the short version of how Jackalope Anglers came to be. The longer version involves a lot of river miles, a few remarkable fisheries, and one guide who kept coming back to the same stretch of the Rio Grande until he finally decided to stay.
