Cutthroat Anglers Colorado Fly Fishing Shop and Guide Service

Meet Our Guides

Mike Joyce

Mike is another guide that earned his stripes working for one of the minor league guide services in the county. He eventually broke free of the Siren’s enchanting song to emerge from the Darkside to be a guide for Cutthroat Anglers. Our entire staff and clientele are fortunate to be able to call Mike a member of our team.

After nearly being held prisoner by Breckenridge, Mike broke free of the corporate conglomerate to fish full-time in the summers. We can’t blame Breck for trying to monopolize Joyce for their own use because he is the epitome of a mountain liaison. While he still ski patrols in the winter, summer bike patrol did not fulfill his piscatorial needs.

Mike's Client Luara Beachy

“I had another great day on the Colorado, and I knew I would because last year's full-day trip was awesome. Kudos to Mike for his patience …

Enjoy the proud smiles of yet another very satisfied customer, and add to your collection of successful women in the water.”

- Laura Beachy

An expert tactician and teacher, his clients almost always return after a day of fishing with Mike with stories of pleasure and big fish bliss. Whether he is instructing a novice or catering to the accomplished angler targeting trophy trout, Mike’s primary goal is to have fun, catch fish, and provide great service. His positive attitude, regardless of the conditions, can turn any day into a memorable fishing experience.
