Clark Shafer from The Nature Conservancy dropped by the store a few days ago to share a few updates and data packages with us. There are many voices of various perspectives and opinions about this project, and the folks of TNC and Silver Creek Preserve managers are working to make this info available for all to see and comment.

The best gift you can give this holiday season, to your loved ones or yourself, is some time on the water plying for trout with a fly. December is a magical time to go fly fishing; there is a serenity that can only be found on the banks of a river in winter. Of course, a successful winter fly fishing…
The first half of December is a great time to visit our Valley. The crowds are still a few weeks away and the early season storms have blessed the top of Baldy with great natural snow. Even better, the forecast calls for more snow in the coming weeks. The mild weather we have experienced to date has made for great…
Fly rods come in as many size, weight, and performance combinations as imaginable. Of the most popular trout rods, most are described by their size (7-9Ft) line weight (3-6Wt) and action (slow-fast). Anglers match rods to their preferred fly fishing method, the size of the water they are fishing, and the size of expected catch. A general rule…
The greatest of scenic fly fishing paintings are breathtaking. Some however seem to stand alone in a distinctive light. Elements of the composition all fit into place so well, that they actually compel you to question if you have not actually stood there at some point in your own life. Certain paintings seem to quietly lean forward and whisper in…
For me, November means turkey, turns, and trout. I can’t imagine a better way to spend time with family and friends over the next two weeks then eating traditional Thanksgiving dishes, riding the chair, and catching trout. Silver Creek, in the Nature Conservancy, closes at the end of the month and the Wood and the Lost are always a great…
“Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul… I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball.”—Ishmael from Moby Dick The best cure for the Shoulder Season blues is time spent plying our local waters in…
[vimeo]http://www.vimeo.com/52057593[/vimeo] The first flakes of the season have officially hit the ground and with hesitation I am off to the sweet smell of P-tex and burning wax for the winter. A huge thanks to everyone that made this year one for the books. A few new faces this summer, but mostly people that I have fished with for many years…
Fly Fishing in late October in the Sun Valley area is a treat with both the fall fishing and foliage hitting its peak. Over the next two weeks, anglers can expect to see sun, rain, and maybe even some snow. The trick to finding good fishing will be to watch the weather and then match your tactics and timing to…
I like fishing downstream. Swinging flies for Steelhead is a welcome seasonal transition following months of facing and casting upstream for trout. It’s an entirely different tempo, two-stepping your way down a run. The casting and presentation is different, not to mention that some days the fly rod is even totally different. Two hands holding cork now. Cool! I took a…
