Saturday, September 26, 2026
Colorado Classic Fly-Fishing Tournament
Hosted by the High Plains Drifters Fly Fishing Club

If you're looking for one of the premier seats in this year's Colorado Classic, this is it.

Jeff Powles is the owner of Fish On Colorado and RiverBum.com and has spent more than 20 years as a professional fly-fishing guide. More importantly for the Colorado Classic, Jeff knows the Colorado River.

This is your opportunity to spend tournament day fishing alongside someone who has built a career around understanding trout, reading water, choosing the right flies, adjusting to changing conditions, and putting anglers in position to catch fish.

Experience Matters on Tournament Day

The Colorado Classic isn't about following the same plan all day. Conditions change. Fish move. Hatches develop. What worked in the morning may not work in the afternoon.

That's where having an experienced guide behind the oars can make a difference.

Jeff brings decades of experience making those decisions on the water. From reading the next piece of productive water to changing flies, presentations, depth, and tactics, you'll have a professional captain working with you throughout the day.

And don't forget—this is still the Colorado Classic.

We're here to compete, but we're also here to have one heck of a day on the river.
