Fish for Change Colorado Programs
At Fish for Change, we believe that fly fishing is more than a sport — it’s a way to connect with nature, build community, and inspire stewardship. Our Colorado programs are designed to give youth and families, hands-on experiences in fly fishing, conservation, and outdoor education. From one-day Kids Days to immersive Family Days and mentorship opportunities, our programs combine skill-building, environmental awareness, and fun on the water.
Whether it’s learning to cast for the first time, exploring local rivers, or discovering the importance of protecting our natural resources, Fish for Change Colorado programs provide meaningful experiences that empower participants to become responsible anglers and environmental stewards — all while creating lasting memories in some of Colorado’s most beautiful outdoor spaces.

Fish for Change Kids Day
September. 21 - 9am - 1pm
@Spring Creeks Ranch
Fish for Change Kids Day is a fun, four-hour half-day program for youth ages 7–16 to dive into the world of fly fishing and conservation. Hosted at Spring Creeks Ranch, kids spend the day learning the essentials of fly fishing — from gear and knot tying to casting and reading water. Along the way, they discover the joy of connecting with nature, the importance of caring for our rivers, and the power of community. Guided by experienced anglers, participants get hands-on practice and even the chance to fish the spring creeks on site. This program blends adventure, learning, and purpose — sparking a love for the outdoors while inspiring kids to become thoughtful stewards of their environment.
