Guided Trips
People have asked us what a guided trip is all about. All
guide services are not equal. Duranglers custom guide service is the premier guide service in the West. Before your trip even begins, Duranglers works hard to ensure your stay in Durango and your fishing in the area will be the best it can be. We can help you pick the best fishing for when you are coming and choose the place that best matches your fishing desires. There is great fishing two blocks from our Durango shop on the Animas and it’s only a 50 short minute drive to the San Juan below Navajo Dam. We can drive a few minutes and get to the remote high country creeks, or we can make a more extended journey to the Rio Grande or Dolores River. All our guide trips are custom designed. The guide will help you have the best day of fishing possible. Duranglers can help, whether it is your first time and you want to build a foundation and avoid much of the frustration of learning on your own, or if you are a seasoned angler who is looking to refine some skills. Our guides are excellent, patient instructors who love what they do, and their enthusiasm is contagious.
PRIVATE WATER AVAILABLE
Duranglers has private water on the Pine and Piedra Rivers for guided wade fishing trips. Both rivers are beautiful, offer privacy and give a real opportunity for a 20-inch plus fish. 
This section on the Pine just might be the prettiest river we have ever fished and being a tailwater has very
consistent conditions. The Piedra is a wild river in a very wild place and when it is right can be awesome. Both rivers have a good mix of Rainbow and Browns.
