Hello all,
The Intro to Insects for the Fly Fisherman Class we advertised
last month filled up quickly, and we realize that everyone who was
interested didn't get a spot. We're working on a second date, so
we'll keep you posted.
We've also got a date for our annual Elk Trout trip -- see below
and book quickly if you want to join us. This always goes fast.
We're also offering a new seminar this spring: a one-day "Colorado
Bonefish Safari" offering you an opportunity to take advantage
of some of our local warm water fishing.
If you haven't checked out our website lately, take a look at our
"specials
and sales" section -- we've got a number of closeouts,
including a fantastic Simms fishing jacket for 50% off.
Hope to see you,
Bill

Fly Fishing Guide Wins Tournament: Kyle Holt from Taylor Creek Fly Shop
and his partner Baker Bishop managed to catch 8 Sailfish in the Stu Apte
Tournament in Costa Rica. It was awesome," Holt said of the experience.
"(The sailfish) eat the fly within 20-30 feet of the boat so you can
see them the whole time and see them jump and do flips. Sometimes they would
take us out a third of a mile." |

TIPS AND TECHNIQUES:
|
| • The Challenge
of Nymph Fishing: Part of this article appeared in the Boulder Daily
Camera under the title of Spanish-style Nymphing. We developed an introduction
to nymph fishing for those anglers just getting started. As such, it transitions
from a beginning and to an advanced "how to".
|
|
|
| • One Knot that Does it
All: We've talked about it before, but its worth bringing up again.
The Uni-knot or Duncan Loop is the only fishing knot that can handle every
possible situation.
|
|
|
| • Origin of Bass
Bugging: Did you ever wonder where bass bugs got their start? It was
100 years ago!
|
|
|
| • How Cold Can You Stand
It! Talk about miserable - when you read this you'll want to take a
hot shower.
