OUR MISSION & VISION
At FlyWater, our MISSION is simple — to responsibly enhance the rivers and streams we care deeply about through thoughtful restoration and design.
Our VISION is to be the leading riverine consulting and construction company that harmonizes art and science, unifies innovation and practicality, and merges the goals of our clients with Mother Nature.
OUR HISTORY
FlyWater, Inc. was founded in 2004 as a consulting firm dedicated to improving the rivers of Colorado. Our approach was straightforward: we blended the goals of our clients with the natural opportunities that Mother Nature allowed to create a unique angling experience. Recognizing that stream construction requires a specific skill set, knowledge base, and language, we expanded into a construction company in 2006.
Since then, we have provided assessment, design, permitting, construction, and management services throughout Colorado and Wyoming. Our award-winning work has improved habitat, restored waterways, and stabilized rivers. We take pride in our ability to offer expertise on both the front end and implementation of a project while staying true to our roots in rivers. Our crew is passionate about their work and treats each project as if it were their home water.
