Whether you’re making a short trip, a long trip or just a day trip to Taos — if you’re a beginner or an experienced angler — there’s no need to bring all of your gear for a day or two on the water. We’re all inclusive!

Blue Yonder will equip you with everything you need from rod and reel to waders and flies, and unlike most other guide services, all equipment and terminal tackle (flies, leader and tippet) is included in the guide fee.

There is no scrimping on equipment at Blue Yonder. We proudly provide Sage and Redington fly rods, Ross and Redington fly reels and Compass 360 and Frogg Toggs hip waders.

Blue Yonder will gladly provide transportation if needed or desired. In most cases we will be happy to pick you up and drop you off at your hotel, B&B, vacation rental, etc. (Taos Ski Valley is one exception).

That said, we do recommend driving your own vehicle when possible for the simple reason that when the day is done you’re free to go and do what you want, i.e. take a drive, explore a little or whatever your heart desires. You don’t have to come back to Taos when the guide returns.

With Blue Yonder the time you pay for is time on the water, and travel time is not considered in the trip time. It’s on us.

The fact of the matter is everybody is looking for something different. Blue Yonder is commited to putting forth the maximum effort to give you, the client, just exactly what you’re looking for.
