Get Hooked: An Inclusive Morning on the River 🎣
Ready to trade the pavement for the peaceful rush of the river? AspenOUT has teamed up with The Aspen Outfitting Company to host an LGBTQ+ inclusive fly fishing excursion that’s all about community, fresh air, and finding your flow.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or you don’t know a “dry fly” from a “house fly,” this morning is for you. We are stripping away the intimidation factor of fly fishing and replacing it with a welcoming, supportive environment where the only thing we’re serious about is having a good time.

Why You Should Join Us
Zero Experience? Zero Problem: We love beginners! This trip is specifically designed to encourage first-timers to get their feet wet (literally and figuratively).
Everything is Provided: Don’t worry about expensive rods or confusing gear. We provide all the equipment you need to feel like a pro from the first cast.
Expert Guidance: Learn from the best. Sam Graf and Jarrod from The Aspen Outfitting Company will be there to guide you through every flick of the wrist.
Community Connection: Connect with the local LGBTQ+ community in the stunning natural beauty of the Roaring Fork Valley.

The Details
Who: Hosted by Sam Graf and Jarrod HollingerWhen: Saturday, May 30Time: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PMWhere: 2858 Upper River Rd, Woody Creek, CO 81656
Requirement: Just bring yourself and a sense of adventure!
Space is limited to ensure everyone gets plenty of hands-on instruction, so don’t wait to cast your line. Grab a spot and let’s make some waves together!

Rather than taking your piece home, your artwork will become part of a larger community installation displayed in the Art Base gallery during our annual pARTy fundraiser. Together, these individual creations will form a vibrant mosaic that celebrates the many artists, makers, and supporters who help make the Art Base such a special place.

As part of our rotating Art Commons initiative, this project invites everyone, regardless of experience, to slow down, create, and contribute to something larger than themselves.
