About RIGS Fly Shop & Guide Service

Like every good guide service, RIGS is a venture born from the expertise of seasoned river guides who have spent decades immersed in the fly fishing and rafting industry. With a shoestring budget, old-fashioned hard work, and a commitment to access quality waters in the region, RIGS received the first-ever permit for guided fly fishing and rafting in Ouray County and pioneered access to our home waters of the Uncompahgre River at Pa-Co-Chu-Puk setting the stage for over 20 years in business. We choose Ridgway as our base of operation, not only because of its stunning beauty and small-town feel but also because of its idyllic proximity to world-class trout streams with easy access and diverse benefits to the surrounding destinations like Ouray, Telluride, Silverton, and Montrose. We chose Ridgway to be in the center of it all.
