Testimonials

“I would give VVA 6 stars if I could! We had such a perfect 1/2 day fishing on the Colorado river with the best guide in Colorado, Andy Jackson. We had literally never fly fished, and Andy did such a great job teaching us and helping to find the right spots, always being on the spot with a new fly when it was needed. We had a successful day thanks to him! Andy did a great job mixing grade A fishing with sightseeing, pointing out interesting items and wildlife all along the river. It was a perfect outing! Definitely book with VVA with confidence, you will get a great, authentic experience catered to you!”
