The Angler's Covey Team

Our staff is one of the best in the country. Each one has his or her own unique passion for the sport of fly fishing, built from years of adventures on the water, and we would like nothing better than to help you make the most of your own fly fishing adventure. 

David Leinweber is the proud owner, manager, buyer, janitor, and general help around the shop.  David has been in the outdoor industry for over 30 years and has spent all of his life pursuing backcountry adventures.  His preferred method of angling is to lose himself on a small stream miles from civilization.  He's fortunate to have fished over 100 different locations in Colorado.

 Jon Kleis is a capricorn. He like sunsets, long walks on the bank, and rising fish. He is a Colorado native that has been fly fishing and tying for 11 years and has been fishing since he was old enough to say, "fishy water". He loves just about all forms of fly fishing and tends to have a lot of enthusiasm, especially for learning something new, and for chasing big fish. Folks have told him that enthusiasm will wear off but he doesn't see that happening anytime soon. He believes "Life is what you make of it." It's cliche, but true, and he chooses to make life about unbridled enthusiasm for the things he loves like fly fishing, basketball, family, and staying positive. Jon Kleis
