I've been using guides from The Sportsman since 2004 and have never had a bad experience. And now since Peter has taken over the shop it's not hard to believe it's gotten better. Between Peter,...

We love The Sportsman and Lake City! We have grown this long-standing business into a fun, smooth-operating enterprise with lots of repeat customers and loyal employees. The potential for continued business expansion is outstanding, however with health issues in our extended family, we have been unable to tap into these areas. If you have an interest in purchasing a growth-oriented business in a beautiful mountain destination, then consider this great opportunity. We will provide training and support, if desired. The business is completely turn-key. The building includes fixtures and over 5, 560 square feet -- 4, 000 square feet in retail space and 1, 560 sq ft that includes a large business office and a 2-bedroom/1 bath residence. On the extra large lot, a two-car garage with separate storage space is included. Also included are three service vehicles, a Lund boat, and a 26 ft travel trailer. The Sportsman Outdoors & Fly Shop is a thriving outdoor retail store and fly fishing pro shop. The business was established in 1955, and we have owned and operated it as sole proprietors since 1998. This is an extremely busy store with high profit products in the A-line of outdoor retail goods. The key location of this facility -- prime highway frontage in a Colorado mountain town -- has created a large, loyal clientele and a very successful business. Services offered include fly fishing guide trips, area 4x4 tours, shuttle services, guided hiking trips, and gear rentals (including mountain bikes) with sole permits for specific services.

Good selection of products and staff are a wealth of knowledge. This is my first stop in town.

Not sure that the two guys we encountered here could have been less friendly/approachable. If we come back to LC and need something, we will do without it.

I was referred to this shop after accidentally breaking a section of my fly rod. This outlet is a dealer for the type of rod I had broken. The guy couldn't have been less helpful, who served...

This was an awesome place when the old ownership was still in place. They would greet you and offer tips on good fishing and other information. Their prices were fair and reasonable. The new...
