Prize Package

One lucky winner will receive four full-day guided trips for two anglers on four of our region's top rivers, for use in the 2023 season, with advance reservations required. The winner and their guest will enjoy trips on each of these four great Rocky Mountain rivers:

Green River - Flaming Gorge. The Green River below Flaming Gorge is known as one of the west's finest tailwater fisheries. Two anglers will enjoy a full-day float on the Green below Flaming Gorge with Spinner Fall Guide Service, leading guides on the Green for more than 35 years. Your guide will work with you to help choose the reach (A, B, or C) that best fits your interests - but whichever section you float, you will be in for spectacular scenery and plenty of large and feisty trout! 

North Platte River - Grey Reef or Fremont Canyon. Two anglers will enjoy winner's choice of a full-day float through the Grey Reef or a full-day walk-wade trip in Fremont Canyon with the guides from Thermopolis Fly Shop. The Grey Reef is known as one of the west's best rainbow trout fisheries with many 16-20 inch fish, including plenty in the 5-10 pound range. Fremont Canyon is a lesser known wade fishing gem with excellent dry fly fishing opportunities.

Roaring Fork - Fryingpan Rivers. The winner will get to choose from two of Colorado's most beloved Gold Medal waters for a full-day walk wade guide trip for two anglers with Roaring Fork Anglers. Whether experiencing the productive freestone Roaring Fork in the heart of one of Colorado's most scenic valleys - or the legendary tailwaters of the Fryingpan - or splitting your time to experience some of them both - you will be in for one of Colorado's great fishing experiences. 

San Juan River. New Mexico's quality waters reach of the San Juan is one of the west's most loved tailwaters and offers excellent fishing opportunities throughout the year. The winner will get a full-day float trip on the San Juan with The San Juan Angler out of Durango. With incredible trout densities reported at 20,000 per mile and productive and varied insect life taking advantage of the tailwater's stable temperatures and flows, the San Juan's abundance and size of fish make it a great place to catch that fish of a lifetime.

The total prize package value for these four trips is $2,300.
