Welcome
to the Alpine River Outfitters Guide School. Our guide
school was created in 1994 and has been a well recognized
forum for aspiring guides to get involved in the exciting
world of guided fly fishing. Our school operates
on the waters surrounding Vail. We operate our
school with the number one goal of creating polite,
safe, courteous, knowledgeable, and prepared guides.
We have trained hundreds of fisherman to become guides
over the past 13 years.
Unlike other
guide schools we do not operate our guide school as
a profit center for our guide service but rather a educational
forum for aspiring guides to get the experience necessary
to go out and get a position as a guide in any operation
in the West.
Our wade guide
course is a perfect forum for the fly fisherman to learn
the useful tactics of some of the most seasoned guides
in the Valley. This course is designed to teach
the wade fisherman how to be a wade fishing guide.
We will hire directly from this class which offers a
great advantage to any potential guide.
Our float
fishing certification course is for individuals who
wish to become float fishing guides and need to have
the certification in order to do so. This is a
very physically demanding course and should only be
considered if your are seriously thinking of becoming
a float fishing guide in the state of Colorado.
The Weekend
Warrior Class is designed to teach float fishing skills
to the fly fisherman who wants to do it on his own.
We will float several stretches of the Colorado and
potentially the Eagle River during early season.
These classes
can be taken for personal or professional applications.
Our week long course is a great team building exercise
for groups or corporations.
