Bugs hatch all day long and dry fly fishing can be superb. The fish are healthier than they have been in years due to 5 years of above average moisture.

Well, 2009 is shaping up to be another great year for fishing in New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming as they have all averaged over 100% snow pack and moisture. That means sufficient water for fish and flyfishers alike, and air and water temperatures have been cool also. Visit www.thesolitaryangler.com for the latest fishing report.

At TheSolitaryAngler.com you'll find information on all our private fisheries including some new ones that are available to "Members" of the Solitary Angling Club and those that hire a guide from our guide service, The Solitary Angler. You'll also find information on our unique, exclusive and convenient accommodations located on or near our private waters, including some new ones coming soon. Now guests will be able to conveniently fish dawn and dusk hatches, best feeding times for big fish!

We are also announcing the First Annual Taos Two Fly Contest this August 21st, 22nd & 23rd to be held at the Trinchera Ranch and Culebra Creek. And finally, instead of just a fishing report, we are providing you with a "Fishing Forecast" for summer and fall fishing to make it easier to plan your next trip.

I truly hope that you can find time to come fish in the Rockies this year. At the Solitary Angler we offer excellent, seasoned guides and we have access to some of the finest waters, public & private, found anywhere. Try us out and experience "quality flyfishing without the crowds."

Tight lines,

Van Beacham
