For all of you who are on the fence about starting to tie your
own flies, this whiz-bang $559 Renzetti Master vise makes it a breeze,
even for those with the attention span of a 4-year old.

Hello all:
It's starting to feel like spring around here, and our shop is
humming with preparations for an immense line-up of special events
coming your way. We've got 30 pre-book days on private water, a
trip to Belize, Customer Appreciation Day on April 9th, Spey clinics,
and much more. Keep an eye on your inbox and the announcements section
of the newsletter to see what's going on. Some events require advance
registration, so if you're interested please go ahead and sign up!
Our number one production tyer, Abby Leuchten (pictured at left),
is almost finished with the Spring order of sparkly, pink, pretty
flies for the Front Range Anglers fly inventory. Don't miss out,
the price is right.
Tight lines,
Bill

FLY TYING
|
| • The Hornberg: It’s
old as dirt, fabricated with relatively simple materials, has been a fish
catcher for over 50 years, and most anglers under 40 have never heard of
it. During its heyday Gart Brothers in Denver couldn't keep enough Hornbergs
in stock. |

DESTINATIONS
|
| • Fishing the Florida
Keys ~ Part I: It’s a good thing Danny Smith doesn't live near
Saltwater. If he did, his friends and family would ever see him because
of the bonefish, tarpon, permit, and so on. Last year he combined a honeymoon
with a little time on the flats. This means his wife Christina is a Saint!

Join Front Range Anglers on a saltwater trip to this fabulous destination
- May 2-8, 2005! |

PRODUCT REVIEW

|
• Winston Boron iiX Update: Winston
has expanded its incredibly popular line of Bornon IIx rods. A lot of
words have been written out their beauty, light weight, ability to punch-out
line, and so on. In the end when you cast one of these rods you'll know
what all the excitement is about.
