I went fishing last week and on the way home from an amazing day on the water I got to thinking how therapeutic fly fishing is for me.  I hadn’t been fishing very much over the past couple months do to how busy my work has been and with spring time here had felt a [...]

 Posted by Spencer Higa   from Falcons ledge Yellowstone River Utah With the extreme runoff conditions we had in 2011, naturally we took a big sigh of relief when the conditions in the summer of 2012 were looking ideal. It seemed like fishing was excellent all over the west and our streams and rivers at Falcon’s Ledge were [...]

Last week I fished the Weber River.  I had received a few reports from friends and looked online for some additional info.  The weather was great, sunny and it was a high of around 50.  I don’t really fish the Weber very often so I don’t claim to be even close to an expert on that water [...]

Post by Justin Hamblin Despite the fact that flows have been eratic and the water has been generally murky this entire year so far(because of the work being done on the Echo dam), the lower Weber river has been kicking out some nice fish fairly consistently. The most productive flies as of late have been stoneflies [...]

A few weeks ago we had our annual Frenzy trip up to Idaho and Montana where we landed some awesome fish.  We fished mostly streamers hunting for big aggressive trout.  When I got home I was convinced that the Brown trout up north are more aggressive.  A couple days after being home I was having withdrawals from [...]
