Re:Back on the Lower Sac Again!!! 16 Years, 3 Months ago

SD---I agree with some of the things you've said. I've been in this trade as an independent fly fishing guide in the Truckee area for a long-time. IMO, RJSFLYTRIPS should heed some of you're advice. Some of it is very valid; most especially in your comments about false expectations and disatisfied clients. Unfullfilled, lofty expectations from a prospective client...can result in dissatisfied clients,resulting in no repeat business or referrals.

Yes, again IMO, his posts are blatant spams. RJSFYTRIPS is a realtively a new guide; he may be following an aggressive marketing gameplan (...from his site he is studying for his MBA) that he thinks may work. It very feasibly may work to fill his calendar; but the caveat is that he is setting himself-up to perform. If he doesn't and has a "slow" day of less, say 20 fish, to the boat...he may have an unhappy client...he'll learn.

In the interim I wish him success, he seems like a sincere and well-meaning individual.

RJSFLYTRIPS---A personal piece of advice from me, so please take it for what it is worth:

I saw your "$100 discount" offer on another board; this can come back to bite you. Most especially if others you've booked around your proffered date find out about the discount. You can be setting yourself-up for un-intended consequences.

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.

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.
