About
I was raised in Colorado and was fortunate enough to have a fly rod in my hand from a very young age. Guiding started as a summer job and has transitioned into being a full time profession. I work for Rio Grande Angler in Creede, Colorado and spend most of my time floating down the Rio Grande River.
When my Rio season is over, I winter in Durango, Colorado and guide for Optimistic Outfitter and Rio Epic Outfitter on the Animas and the San Juan.
I love helping others find/fuel their passion for fly fishing and spending time on the water with them. I spend most of my guiding days in a drift boat but I will also take wade trips in late summer.
I started Find A Fly Fishing Guide LLC to help connect clients with outfitters and guides. Being a full time guide myself, I am trying to take the next step in making it easy to find reliable guides and outfitters you can trust.

I've been fishing with Caiden for 4+ years now and I would say he is in a league of his own when it comes to a great time on the water. He's one of those guides that you don't have to ask anything of because he's constantly insuring everyone is comfortable and ready to fish on the boat. H […]

My half day float down the Rio Grand near South Fork started out breezy and graduated to gale force. A dozen or so nice Browns were boated and just as many were missed. Action due in no small part to Caiden’s expertise on the oars. He put me in the best position to make a successful drift […]

Does your guide thoroughly know EVERY riffle and pool that might hold a fish? Is he knowledgeable regarding the details of what’s coming off, at which part of the day, size and color variations? Are all these flies accessible in his Plano box? How about useful casting tips and congratulat […]

We fished with Caiden for two days on the Rio Grande and had such a wonderful time. His knowledge of the river is matched by his enthusiasm for fly fishing. He changed our flies when they weren’t working and was very good at telling us where to put the flies so we would have the most pro […]

Had a few days on the water with Caiden and he was exceptional. Highly recommend for a great experience all around.
Caiden is a knowledgeable guide and a good teacher. He respects the fish and waterways which is what the best guides do! Book a trip with Caiden if you want to learn a thing or two on the water!
My wife and I have fished with Cayden the last 3 summers on the Rio Grande. He is an excellent guide; skilled in tactics, presentation, rowing and keeping the clients happy. Definitely recommend spending a day on the water with him.
An excellent guide! Caiden works hard, and will teach you as much as you want to learn. He's patient with all skill levels, and knows how to put you in the right spot to have the best chance at plenty of fish. There are other guides out there, but I only use Caiden. Every time. Highly recommended.
I have fished with Caiden the past two years - the first was a wade trip in 2020 and then a float trip in summer 2021 for a total of four days. Both were excellent trips, and Caiden is at the top of the guiding game. The Brown Drake hatch he put me on this past summer was simply unbelie […]
