Animas Valley Anglers Guide Rates
New Kids Fish Free program for the month of August
Great specials on our San Juan and Colorado float and wade trips. Best guides, best waters and best back-to-school rates out there...the perfect Southwest vacation.

Kids (12 and under) Fish Free in August!
Here at AVA we enjoy getting kids out on the streams and into trout. Many of the guides at AVA are, or have been teachers outside of the main guide season and that makes them great teachers and coaches for kids. So, we decided to offer a special program for kids. When a child accompanies an adult on one of our many trips they get to fish for free.

The guided day will be structured like any other trip when kids are involved; gear-up, quick casting lesson, safety talk, fishing, snacks, fishing and lunch. To help keep kids into the experience 1/2 day trips will be three hours and full days will be six hours. Our goal is not to "over fish" them, but to give them a quality experience that they will remember for years. We want to help build a strong fishing foundation were they do not feel pressured or forced into the activity.

Best fly waters for kids: Animas private waters, Colorado mountain creeks and float or wade trips on the San Juan Quality Waters or Mid River in New Mexico.

Trips on the San Juan in New Mexico do not include: New Mexico
fishing license for the adult and 5% New Mexico tax.
Trips in Colorado do not include: Colorado fishing license for the adult, if on private waters rod fee to the adult and customary gratuity for the guide.

The Kids Fish Free program is available for all kids 12 and under. The trip will be based on our single angler rate ($50 savings) for the adult that is fishing with the child.Trips with a third angler, child or adult, will be billed our extra angler rate.

High Water Floats
For all of us guides this is our favorite time to be on the Juan. Due to the high flows the river is virtually abandoned. There might be a couple boats out, but there are plenty of places to hide and explore. Oh, the fishing can be fantastic too. Our high-water special for the San Juan starts April 16th and goes through May 31st. This special is for the San Juan Quality Waters.
