So we took advantage of the 50% off fly fishing offer and met in Golden Saturday morning. Since we were early, we took the time to enjoy a great home cooked breakfast at the Golden Restaurant on 12th street, which proved to be a precursor to an enjoyable day of fishing Clear Creek under the watchful eye and tutoring of our guide Jay. Jay set an easy going pace, which was a good thing since we were basically a group of beginners as concerns fly fishing. I was the most experienced of our group, which is not saying much, maybe only saying that I had most of the basic equipment while the others needed to use the fly shop gear. Even though, I learned a few things from Jay, which I know will come in handy as I gain more experience.All of us hooked up with a few browns, most about 8 inches average. Maybe not something to brag about but certainly a good experience for newbies, especially being outdoors in a very scenic area. I would recommend this deal to anyone new to fly fishing or new to Colorado and wanting to know where some of the good places to go can be found. In both cases, it is a good introduction that can last a lifetime. Thanks Jay and thank you Nick, it was certainly worth it!

Purchased an IR spray deck from GRS off the rack in perfect condition. I managed to put a hole in it after one day on the water and stopped by to see what could be done about warranty or repair services. Dennis was able to tell me right away wether the damage to my skirt was covered under warranty and even offered to contact Immersion Research for me. I have been buying equipment here for as long as Ive lived in Golden and GRS has always earned its reputation for good customer service and knowledgeable staff, but this went above and beyond my expectations. I cannot recommend this shop highly enough.

I was not overly impressed with this establishments customer service. I rented a pair of waders and boots from people who were less than friendly and seemed totally apathetic about my business in general. When I returned the gear, I explained that the waders clearly had a hole since I was soaking wet all day and they didnt seem to care about that either. They didnt so much as say "Im sorry that happened", let alone offer to refund my money or give me a credit on a future rental or purchase. Its unfortunate because I like to support local business but I will not be returning.

Was planning a fun day of paddle boarding down at Chatfield with my 30lb dog on a Saturday. Attempted to contact Golden River Sports via their website email the Monday before about renting a vest for the pooch; never got a reply. Called them on Thursday, was told "yes, we rent dog life vests. No, you dont need a reservation, we have several sizes and several in each size, youll be fine on Saturday." Went in on Saturday, was told "we only have one vest in one size." Was offered a 45-70lb dog vest for the 30lb dog. Terrible customer service!! Will not ever come back.

Love this store. As a local, Im in and out of here many times a year on my way to paddle clear creek and the surrounding rivers. Staff is always super friendly and helpful. Im kind of surprised that some of the other reviews on here indicate otherwise. Dont listen to them! Its great to have a store thats so well stocked in a convenient location with knowledgable, friendly, and helpful staff.

We had a full day guided trip on Clear Creek with a guide from the shop. Curt was a great guy, very knowledgable, on time and was very easy to hang out with. We met at the shop in Golden and then spent the day up at great spot on Clear Creek. We didnt really use the shop but the guide represented them well and good people make good shops so I am sure its top class too.

Friendly service. Small shop and quite packed when we went. Reasonable prices and helpful staff. A 15m walk from the shop to where to start tubing. Be sure to check flow rate of waterways, 450-500 cfm when we went, which was pretty intense. Especially if you flip over.

The store has expanded and Bart, the owner, has really spiffed up the displays. But the best part of this store is that the staff are not hard sells and youre steps away from the creek so its convenient for demos and when you suddenly realize you need new gear.

Pretty expensive. It was convenient to rent our tubes here, but very pricy. A single tube was $23 for the day. Because of the length of the river each person would need their own. A life jacket was included in the rental and the service was nice.

Great place to get fly fishing gear, flies, and tying materials! Bart and his staff are very knowledgeable and attentive. Advice on fishing locations, water flows, and hatches led directly to landing this huge trout.

VERY rude to customers. Tube renta includes life jacket and nothing else. No shuttle or even key drop. Overpriced and they do not treat their customers well. Just buy a tube yourself from Target.

The sales staff Golden River sports is very knowledgeable and down to earth. They truly care about getting you what you need and making sure it is proper for what you intended to do.

Great selection of white water gear, but not the most knowledgeable staff. They look like they know a thing or three about fly fishing though!
