About Brian Hilbert

Brian Hilbert was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. He began his full-time guiding career right out of high school pursuing wild steelhead along the Oregon coast in the fall and winter and guiding for fly-out lodges in western Alaska throughout the summers.  After moving to Colorado in 2016, Brian immediately fell in love with our local fisheries where he has guided and taught fly fishing full time since. When not on the water, Brian enjoys bird hunting with his Labrador, Cooper, and tying flies for his clients and friends.

A recent review from a trip with Brian-

"I would like to thank Angler’s Covey for having Brian Hilbert ( Professional Guide) come in and teach 301 Nymphing Class-The Dropshot Rig. It was a two part class, a two hour or so classroom instruction. Brian was very thorough and taught at everyone’s pace. He went through with all of us how to build the Dropshot Rig and preparing us for Part two. Part two the following half day instruction was on the river for a half day. Brian covered from the basics entomology, rod setup,reading the water and casting the rig with proper drift. Overall Brian spent equal time with everyone in the class and worked with anyone problem that occurred. I personally would endorse Brian as great instructor and would recommend as a professional guide."
