How the list is built

Colorado fishing outfitters and guides

Colorado requires anyone guiding hunters or anglers for pay to register as an outfitter with the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA). This page keeps the active business registrations whose name carries a fishing word, plus a few guide businesses found in Yellow Pages: 119 in all, 74 fishing guides and 45 fly fishing guides.

Individuals registered under a personal name are left off, and DORA prints no phone number, so most listings show a business name, a city and the registration end date only.

Why are some well-known guides missing?
