Hello all:
Another solution for those who have inquired about places that
have good fishing away from the crowds -- fish in the autumn! The
picture at left was taken on the Arkansas just above Salida. A gorgeous
fall day and only a handful of anglers ... you can't beat it!
Our schedule of free Saturday morning fall/winter clinics is posted
now (click here). Mark your
calendars and don't miss some of the region's most experienced fly
fishers showing their stuff. Presentations will range from fly tying
and fishing tips and techniques, to destination slide shows. Come
on in, the coffee's on!

WHAT'S NEW
|
|
• Fishing All Season:
As fall gives way to winter you can pursue fly fishing without getting
cold or wet. We have time to restock our fly boxes, secure 'must have'
items, build another rod, and so on. It’s a great time to learn new
skills for next season.

DESTINATIONS

| • More Bighorn:
It gets crushed with too many fishermen, an overabundance of guides, accommodation
problems, bad press, etc. But in the end, it remains one of the best places
to catch large wild trout. |
|
|
| • Hopper Season on the
Crowsnest: The Crowsnest in Southwestern Alberta is one of the finest
trout streams in North America. Hopper season starts in August and the action
is fantastic. We've got an exclusive arrangement for several trips to this
area in 2005 - find out more. |

TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

Dry Fly Knot: The Harvey Dry Fly Knot is probably one of the best choices
for connecting flies with up or down-turned hook eyes to your tippet. |

Reels - How & When: The Orvis Trout Reel patented in 1894 was first
'traditional' fly reel and the base for all modern design. |
