Yesterday in the Snow 15 Years, 7 Months ago  
Caught several rainbows to about 20", with one brookie of about 10". Followed fresh Elk tracks through a foot of fresh snow to the river. Nice day!

Phil---Check-out my blog via the click-on on my homepage. It is about beautiful weather, fresh-fallen snow, fly fishing and "snowclumping".

I love talking fly-fishing. So, if you want some info on fly angling my "home waters" in the Truckee area, do not hesitate to contact me off the board; whether by phone (530-587-7333) or e-mail (cyberfly@cyberfly.com). Please be patient relative to a quick reply; most especially during May-October.

My latest crusade is limiting undo fly fishing guide impact on the Little Truckee River. This small venue is being abused my commericial guiding interests. Consequently the fishery is being abused, IMO, most especially by guides to the detriment of the fishery. Moderation is the key in usage.

During the last two seasons I've diplomatically mentioned to many guides that they should coordinate with others guides so that they minimize impact...it has been to no avail. Some entities are more guilty than others; weather independent or "stabled" (outfitter or fly shop). So I've just started taking this public. Any civil suggestions/comments on limiting guide impact would be appreciated.

For my complete bio go to www.cyberlfy.com; then click-on my photo.



NOW FOR THE SPAM!!

Simply, I'm a fly fishing junkie. In 1984, in order to justify my addiction, I started Thy Rod & Staff in Truckee; the longest existing, fly fishing guide service in the Tahoe area and possibly one of the longest in California. I'm an independent; so the "buck stops with me". I tailor trips to the specific desires and skill levels of the client; no "my way or the highway" guiding.

Simply, experience counts folks! 2009 will be my 26th year exclusively as a professional fly fishing guide in Truckee. As long as I enjoying the interaction with other passionate fly anglers and/or those new to the sport; my service will continue into the future. I also "host" fly fishing club outings.

Encouraged by clients & family I started the Reel School of Fly Fishing in 1996. There are scheduled one & two-day clinics through-out the "general" season; entailing a maximum 3-to-1 attendee-to-instructor ratio. Now, since the season if open year-round; I have a scheduled snow-shoe/fly fishing group-outing during March.

Again in 2010 I will be "hosting" two groups at a private lodge in Chilean Patagonia; located 2+hours from Coyhaique, Chile. The lodge accommodates six (6) fly anglers only. It is located in an isolated river valley (40 minute jet-boat ride down river...no roads). From my past experience in this area, I'm guessing it is like Montana was 50-60 years ago....far-far-away from the "real world". Inquire for specifics, I will be going there every year. I've arranged with the lodge for some incredible pricing for two "hosted" weeks in 2010. Also I can arrange other stays and special pricing...contact me.

Frank,

Loved the blog. Snowclumping is a great term to describe walking with wet boot soles in the snow!

PT/TB,

Also a great blog. What a great series of midge pictures. Gunna have to give some of those a try.

Re:Yesterday in the Snow 15 Years, 7 Months ago  
Phil & Planet Trout----Glad you enjoyed my blog about "snowclumping". I'm finding blogging a better format for my now-defunct "Truckee UPDATE". Now I can report, vent, muse, inform, laugh, ask questions, espouse,etc,etc. when the mood hits (check-out my "Mood" posts); without the pressure of time constraints. I'm looking forward to the interaction with readers. Let's have some fun...just, PLEASE, keep it civil.

Phil...the images are of BWO duns. I speak of midges in my "Pimping a Fly Rod" post; I've excerpted 3-4 paragraphs from my article in the summer issue of Sierra Fisherman (www.sierrafisherman.com).

Going to my hometown of SF for Thanksgiving late today; after I go fishing.......

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

i agree, great photo! The photo on my screen is square. Is that a function of cropping or does your camera take photos in that format, and if so, what camera. Inquiring minds who are camera-less need to know for Santa's list.
