Chris Swallows began his guiding career with us back in 2018. Chris has progressed very quickly and built up a steady stream of repeat clientele because he is just such a nice freaking guy and a great teacher. He is amazingly intelligent (and a fishing guide?), patient, and great with anglers of all skill levels, especially beginners. His expertise is wading the Roaring Fork and Crystal rivers and is intimately familiar with our private water accesses. He is often found floating the Roaring Fork in his Boulder Boat river dory with his daughter Josie and his wife Gina (below). Chris is also an expert craftsman with a nose for detail and a love of cooking.
