Splurge or Steal: Fly Fishing Gear

Here at AVA Rafting and Ziplining, we have a plethora of different adventure seeking activities from whitewater rafting, to ziplining and rock climbing. If you thought that rafting was our only water based activity, it is my pleasure to inform you that we also offer a few super awesome fly fishing expeditions as well! Our fly fishing trips include all the gear that you will need but if you are looking to purchase some flyfishing gear here in Colorado, be sure to check out these shops.

Buena Vista – Ark Anglers

Our Granite outpost, located approximately 13 miles from the town of Buena Vista, offers multiple different activities on the Arkansas River. The local fly fishing shop for the Arkansas River is located in Buena Vista and offers an abundance of gear and employs some of the most knowledgeable fishermen with a true John Wayne attitude on customer service. They sell rods, reels, waders, packs, clothing, accessories and more but flies are really what they do best. With over 1500 bins full of the best quality flies they are well suited to find everyone what they need.
