Cutthroat Anglers, Silverthorne

This is my home shop. I could buy online from anyone, but when I want the best selection of flies, and advice about them, I go to CT. If they don't have what I want, they get it. You can't ask for friendlier, more helpful guys than Corey and Eric. Whenever I'm considering a new fly rod, I seek Jared's advice, even when he's busy with his ski biz. He is the materials master and knows graphite rods backwards and forwards, inside and out. (He also puts an incomparable tune on skis and boards, knowing those materials inside and out as well!) Corey and Jared are the men for Pike. Wheels, well, he's just awesome, and I can't say enough about Mitch and his patience. It's no wonder Mitch gets voted the best guide in Summit County.

If you have never been fly fishing before, I highly recommend this place and in particular Matt C. For the entire expedition, Matt was an excellent guide. He explained in detail what we would be doing once we arrived at the river. And even took the time to make sure I was comfortable with my fishing rod before entering the water. I also loved that he took time out to appreciate the scenic views surrounding us and my group also appreciated his witty personality. I would totally ask Matt to take us out on the water again.
