Everything you need to know about fly fishing in Colorado. Join The Flyfisher for an interactive discussion about what's going on in the world of fly fishing.
Fly fishing film aficionado Joey Macomber recently shot this awesome Colorado Fly Tying Video of Colorado Fly Fishing Guide, Cody DeGuelle.
In addition to being an all-star guide for Colorado's Flyfisher Guide Service Cody also ties some nice looking flies and ties them well! With the end of fall fast approaching now is the time to sit down, drink a few beers and tie some streamers!
In addition to the video be sure and check out Lateral Line Media for acomplete step by step fly tying description.
The Flyfisher Guide Service will be featured on national television on Tuesday, May 18 on ICTV at 5:30 p.m. MDST, and throughout Colorado on Comcast on Sunday, May 23 at 10 a.m., all times Mountain. Ranch & Resort TV host Milton Dailey along with special guest Jim Ferguson of Great American Outdoor Trails Radio Network were guests at Lincoln Hills Fly Fishing Club to tape the show.
The personalities were treated to a special day outside of Pinecliffe, Colo., where Ferguson was amazed at the total number of fish caught and the overall strength. Dailey is still trying to find ways to put all of the footage together for a half-day on the river.
“I’ve never had such high quality, non-stop fly fishing action before,” said Dailey. “This is the best fly fishing footage I have ever gotten.”
Ferguson hosts a weekly radio show that can be heard on more than 400 radio stations throughout the world. He has hosted Bartkowski several times in the past, and you can listen to the duo talking about Ferguson’s trip to Lincoln Hills.
Last Saturday Denver's Oriental Theater played host to hundreds of fly fishing enthusiasts as the Fly Fishing Film Tour sold out both the 5 o'clock and 8 o'clock shows. The Fly Fishing Film Tour brings with it a showcase of the best independent fly fishing films each year. This year the tour seemed to be geared more toward Steelhead and Saltwater fishing in its list of film highlights. There were however several trout clips, including the Colorado made "In the Land of Cutthroats." And with tour sponsors including companies like Costa Del Mar, Korkers, Scientific Anglers, Patagonia, Sage and even local fly shop Trout's Fly Fishing it was sure to be a hit with the Denver fly fishing crowd. As with any compilation of films, there were some that appeared to be stronger than others with better cinematography, editing, music, etc...but I find it hard to say that I didn't like any particular one. After all, they were all about fly angling around the world. Some of my favorites included "Off The Grid," "Metalhead," "High In The Lowlands," and "Heads Or Tails." I look forward to them all being available in full feature length later this year. The Tour is long gone from Colorado by now but some of the film clips are actually still available for viewing on the Film Tour website. Also, be sure to check out the schedule page to see when they are coming your way and to get your tickets online so you are not left out in the cold. The Fly Fishing Film Tour is sure to get your heart pumping, and excited about hitting the water no matter what species you target on the fly.
