Pre-TRIP CHECKLIST
Fishing License
You are required to purchase your fishing license ahead of time, BEFORE your trip. All fishing licenses require a valid US ID or passport. Taylor Creek does not sell licenses - they are available from Colorado Parks and Wildlife. We cannot take you out on a trip without a fishing license! Simply call 1-800-244-5613, download the Colorado Parks and Wildlife app, or visit the Colorado Division of Wildlife website and choose Fishing from the drop down menu that says Big Game and Turkey. Save your Temporary Authorization Number (TAN) in your phone or simply write it down and keep it on your person while fishing. Choose Home Delivery, and your proof of purchase is all you need.

Guiding is a service industry, and cash gratuities are appreciated by our guides. Tips are typically 20%-25%, and planning ahead to bring the right amount of cash will be appreciated by your guide (especially if you have a great time).

Transportation
We do not do pick-ups, we require our guests to at least get themselves to and from Taylor Creek in Basalt. Many guests simply follow their guide on trips in their own vehicle. Uber, Lyft and local RFTA buses are available. Vehicles are a must for a float trip!
