Fagan’s Guided Fly Fishing has been part of Red River’s outdoor culture for decades, offering guided fly-fishing experiences rooted in deep local knowledge, patience, and respect for the land. Founded by Jeff Fagan, the business operates year-round and has grown into a cooperative-style guide service supported by a highly experienced, professional staff.

What sets Fagan’s apart is its balance of access and approachability. With permits and private water throughout the Red River Valley and surrounding areas, the team is able to guide guests away from crowded spots while tailoring each trip to the needs of families, first-time anglers, or seasoned fly fishers alike. The focus is not on spectacle, but on creating meaningful, comfortable experiences in nature.

Looking ahead, Jeff is most excited about continuing to do what the business already does well - serving repeat families, adapting to changing conditions, and stewarding the waters that make the region special.

“What I love most about doing business in Red River is the people,” Jeff shared. “Over the years, those relationships have become the real legacy.”
