Dan’s Tips

Lexi is ready with her new NuCast Reel.

Summer is coiming!  This is what Dan calls “tackle tinkering time”.  Time to start getting that equipment organized and in shape so when the vacation hour strikes you will be ready.  Or when a week-end opens with a little free time you can hit the road without wasting precious fishing time. And you will be extra happy if you have one of these new fly reels already strung up and on your favorite fly rod. Lexi knows.  See the reel on Dan’s shop page.

Current Fishing and Weather Conditions

Temperatures are vacillating from day to day and even within every day. Sun and clouds, wind and then a few snow flakes. The Lake  Fork is thawed and running low and cold. Roads to higher streams are mostly closed. Ice has disappeared on the Blue Mesa along with the last of the ice huts and all signs of parka clad fishermen. Fishing days are coming – get ready.
