FRONT
RANGE ANGLERS NEWSLETTER

| "Dedicated to bringing people
and fish together" |
June 2004

Hello all --
Today's biggest news: after three years of persistence on our part,
the Daily Camera has agreed to work with the Front Range Anglers
staff on constructing a full-color fishing section which will appear
in the Sports section of every Thursday's newspaper starting on
June 17th. This is a long overdue project that will bring the latest
in fishing news, reports and stream flows to the wide readership
of the Camera. There will be a "catch of the week" portion,
where you can submit photos of your catches -- if you bring your
pictures into the shop we'll be happy to submit them for you.
This month presents the annual opportunity for warm water fishing
at some of our local ponds and lakes. Front Range Anglers staff
and customers alike have been focusing on warm water species and
where to go and how to catch them. Who would have thought 5 years
ago that those lovely carp would be so sought after??
The lunker bass at left was caught by my daughter Abby (age 3)
with spin gear, but on the fly with a bead head hare's ear. She
needs to work on her cast, and her ability to make a birds nest
out of the line equals her enthusiasm, but her hook setting is extraordinary.
See you in the shop,
Bill

FLY TYING
|
| • Crane Flies: Early
in 2004 we published an article about the Jack Dennis Crane Fly which he
tied at one of our seminars. We told our customers to drop us an e-mail
for the recipe. Since the requests are still coming in, we though we would
simply re publish the article with the recipe - enjoy. |
|
|
| • Material of the Month:
With Bass and panfish now on center stage its time to stock your fly box
with poppers.
|
|
|
| • Mr. Crafty: Here is a pike fly
that can produce some vicious strikes. The original material for this pattern
came from an old mink collar that a friend and fellow tier, Ron Donahue,
liberated from his wife.
