Peter, kindly fixed the problem.The presentation and dedication how he sent the fly-box was excellent. I highly recommend him and what he offers.

Ascent is a one of a kind fly shop to the Denver (or any area). Peter is by trade, the most qualified shop owner in the area and the ideals of community he promotes alone are reason enough to make this your go to fly shop. Barring that, an excellent selection of flies, tied with an amazing story, and gear for the beginner or expert fisher will leave you impressed. Top marks

Place is great and Peter knows his stuff. The best part is they won't sell you a bunch of stuff you won't need. They also send you out with a specific place in mind with equipment and flies that will give you the best chance to catch fish.

Amazing customer service, friendly and knowledgeable, great selection, awesome prices. I cant say enough good things about Ascent and their employees. They provide amazing information for time/places you are fishing and will customize your flies too. You HAVE to stop in!!! Six out of five stars!!!!!!!!!

Great fly shop! It was recommended by a friend finally stopped by Peter and Brian (I'm bad with names so I hope that is right) we're great! I got walked through the store shown where everything was at. Picked up some flies, a hat, sticker, fly boxes, and some indicators. This is definitely going to be my go to fly shop!
