The Rio Grande Gorge
Most people think of the Rio Grande as a muddy channel along the Mexican border, but like many great American rivers, the Rio Grande originates high in the Rocky Mountains.

Fishing Buddies
My clients were two old friends. Buddies since college, they had lived in the same city for more than 30 years. From the constant stream of inside jokes and semi-raunchy stories it was clear they had shared a lot of life

Fishing Tips
Formula
The little discoveries and successes made on each outing were magical, and my young mind suspected there could be order in the chaos of this underwater world if I only looked for it hard enough, not unlike like the famous scientists I idolized.

Colorado Fly Fishing
We offer Southern Colorado fly fishing on private water, including the incredible Culebra Creek and upper Rio Grande Valley. We have locations a few hours’ drive from southern Front Range cities of Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Walsenburg and Raton, and valley towns of Blanca, Salida, Alamosa, Monte Vista, Del Norte and South Fork.
Ask us about accommodations in the area so that you can maximize fishing and minimize driving.
New Mexico Fly Fishing
Taos, New Mexico is located in the heart of the Southern Rockies. Nowhere else in the lower 48 can you find such a unique blend of magnificent scenery, beautiful weather and excellent fly fishing on a year-round basis.
Visit high mountain lakes and streams – Red River, Rio Hondo, Cimarron River, Rio Costilla in Carson National Park’s pristine Valle Vidal, Coyote Creek below Angel Fire, Eagle Nest Lake. Hike in “wild and scenic” river canyons like the Rio Grande Gorge. Explore the more accessible, but fantastically beautiful Cimarron Canyon, with a northern New Mexico fly fishing guide consequently, offers a variety of fly fishing opportunities, without the crowds.
Wyoming Fly Fishing
The lower Green River tailwater below Fontenelle Dam and dozens of wild mountain freestone streams flowing from the immense Wyoming Range all offer pristine settings and “superior flyfishing without the crowds” for exceptionally large trout, all within a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Jackson or Salt Lake City.
Southwest Wyoming is the best kept flyfishing secret left in the lower 48 states!
Solitary Angling Club
SAC Members and their guests get to fish all the fisheries I lease on a reservation basis without a guide (a couple of exceptions). When you reserve a section, your party is the only one there. We require a minimum of two days rest per section per week. Most sections receive a lot more than that.
The result is an abundance of clean, strong, unspooked trout waiting for you to test your skills on!
Great fishing on Culebra Creek!
"I had a great day of fishing on Culebra Creek with David. He was a most pleasant and knowledgeable guide. I caught 15 trout, 14 of which were large and fat. They were consistently the healthiest fish I have ever seen. All but one was over 15 inches, with the largest rainbow measuring 21 inches, and the largest brown being 20 inches. David kept one of my rods rigged with a dry fly setup, and one with wet flies. I never stopped fishing except to rest a second, take a fish off the hook, or to eat and drink. It was a dream day."
