Custom Trout Fishing Trips in Colorado and Wyoming

Guided Float & Wade Fishing Trips

The Gold Medal waters of the Arkansas River offer our anglers access to 145 miles of water teeming with trout. If you have only done walk wade trips, float fishing gives you the opportunity and access to parts of the river you would never be able to fish walk wading and get to walk wade sections that cannot be hiked to. Our guides specialize in helping anglers of all experience levels explore what Colorado's best Trout fishing rivers have to offer via a raft. Other excellent options are the Blue Ribbon Trout waters of the North Platte - WY and the San Miguel River - CO and the Gold Medal water in the Gunnison River Gorge - CO

Float Fishing Arkansas River

Cast yourself in a new direction on a custom fly or spin fishing adventure with Dvorak Expeditions. Our professional guides are passionate about these rivers, and making your experience safe, fun, and exactly what you expect is a priority.  We offer float and wade/walk fishing trips on some of the wildest and most productive Rainbow and Brown Trout fishing waters in the West on six rivers in Colorado and Wyoming, including on those awarded “Gold Medal” status by the Colorado Division of  Parks & Wildlife, the World famous Arkansas River.  Move around Colorado to the San Miguel River for wade-walk trips and spring and fall day floats.    Catch the “Blue Ribbon” water in Wyoming on the North Platte River for spring trips.

Our guided fishing trips run for a 1/2  day or up to 3 days. We are happy to customize your fishing trip to give you the best value and variety on these western trout rivers. Our guides are experienced professionals who know the best flies and tackle to fish with, depending on the specific river and season you choose to cast off. Our state-of-the-art rafts are custom setups for a maximum of two anglers and guides.

Drift boats and custom Fishing RaftsWe use inflatable rafts as our craft of choice but also have drift boat “Dories” available by special arrangement on certain rivers. You are welcome to bring your own gear, or we have rental items available for all our trips; camping and tackle items. Your guides will always have tackle available to provide the right flies and lures for you to catch that big fish!


Dvorak Expeditions would like to introduce you to the new owners of the Gunnison River Gorge business. After more than 40 years, Bill and Jaci have given over the Gunnison River business to a successor to carry their legacy on.

Ed and Michelle founded Ed’s Fly Shop in 2010.  In 2019, they moved the shop to Montrose, CO at the heart of ‘Gold Medal’ fishing, and continue to offer full services of custom and top-of-the-line fly fishing gear, fly tying supplies, ice fishing equipment, and custom float and wade-walk guided river trips.

They were given the opportunity to purchase the Dvorak Expedition’s 40-year legacy business on the Gunnison River and add this beautiful section, below the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, to their other choices in western Colorado. Bill and Jaci Dvorak are pleased to introduce the Liveness’s to you all.  They will provide all our same guided trips in the Gunnison Gorge and on the lower Gunnison River.

Ed and Michelle look forward to carrying on the tradition of providing the highest quality trips for you.  Ed, Michelle, and their team of custom guides, many from Dvorak’s staff,  do enjoy helping new and experienced anglers alike with their fly-fishing needs and providing an excellent angling experience on and off the rivers.
