The weather conditions were tough for the Fly Fishing School instructors and the seven students but they gave it their best. They hit the river very early this morning and it was worth crawling out of a comfy warm bed to hook, land and release a few nice trout.
If you’re a frequent visitor to this blog, you’re probably already a seasoned fisherman (or woman) who needs little in the way of advice on tips and techniques … right?
But if you know someone that has always wanted to take up the beautiful art of fly fishing, let them know that our fly fishing schools will once again be taking place this June and July.
Our sixteenth annual Beginners Fly Fishing School, taught by Angus Boezeman and Alan Erdossy of Broadside International, kicked off this weekend, with many grasshoppers trying to learn the ways of fly fishing. The picture above shows the instructors netting insects to determine what the fish might be feeding on – it must’ve paid off, as one of the students landed a nice salmon on a golden stone nymph, based on the evidence that came up in the net – knowledge is power !
Yes, the San Juan Worm that’s what’s happening on the Trophy Stretch. Landlocked Salmon love the worm!! I’ve heard that Sulphurs have also been spotted.
Back Lake is seeing Brown Drakes, a few Light Cahills and lots of Black Caddis coming off.
Yellow Hornbergs are flying out of the fly shop and our long time guests, the Hartnett’s Kaye and Uncle Art are experts at fishing Back Lake. Trolling a Yellow Hornberg has been
Art’s secret weapon.
It should be a great week ahead.
Our first fly fishing school is this coming weekend. We have four students signed up for the school and this could be your chance to learn what fly fishing is all about. Give us a call to get more info.
