About the Shop

Flops Fly Fishing

Flops Fly Fishing operates in partnership with FFEP Outfitters, and, is proud to be the only Guide Operated Fly Shop in Estes Park.

Boasting the Largest Selection of Fly-Tying Materials and tools in Town & The Only Shop Selling Flies Hand Tied By Your Guides.

We started Flops to create a shop that reflects how guides actually fish: practical gear, proven flies, and products we personally use and trust. From hand-selected flies to original artwork, apparel, and lifestyle gear, everything we offer is designed for anglers who spend real time outside.

Because we’re guides first, our standards are simple — if we wouldn’t fish it ourselves or hand it to a client, we don’t sell it. Our goal is to provide honest advice, quality products, and a shop that represents authentic fly fishing culture.

Flops Fly Fishing exists for anglers who care about good gear, good water, and actually catching fish. It’s not just a hobby — it’s a way of life.
