McCloud River Brown

The McCloud River may be famous for a pure strain of Rainbow and for its planting around the world. But the McCloud has a population of Browns that are also impressive.

Beaver Ponds

It's amazing how a few beavers can alter and in many ways destroy a fishery. The Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, near Lake City, CO has been in constant flux from year to year. There are areas that have been forever changed due to the effects of these nocturnal rodents.

Guide Profile

We had the opportunity to fish the Yellowstone area with fly fishing guide Brian Berry. We booked our trip through Bud Lilly's Trout Shop. Our day was spent learning the Madison River in the park. We fished the Barnes area and a few spots near the Madison Junction campground. Thanks Brian, we had a great time. Here's a pic of Brian with a beautiful Brown he landed while fishing a streamer late in the day.

Headed to the dam....

April in Arizona can be unpredictable. We battled the rain and cold on our way to Glen Canyon Dam at Lees Ferry. It all paid off!

Hill's Discount Flies

Here's a plug for Hill's Discount Flies. They are a great online source for flies and it's been my experience that orders can arrive within 4 to 5 days after placing an order.

Should Felt Soles Be Banned?

Click here on Felt Soles to read a Field and Stream article about the possibility of banning felt soled wading boots. If this is the case, does anyone need a pair of worn Chota wading boots? CHEAP!

True Love

Even though Valentine's Day is past, love is still in the air for this fly fisher and a Conejos River Brown Trout.

VFG Bulletin Board

In addition to all the daily posts to the Virtual Fly Guides Blog, there is a VFG Bulletin Board. This is where fly fishers can post reports by region, watch podcasts, and stay up to date with what's happening in the fly fishing world. By posting reports, videos, and/or photos, fly fishers can become a Virtual Fly Guide and share their experiences like a guide would. Our motto is "Fly fishers guiding each other by sharing their personal reports". Also, the VFG Bulletin Board allows all visitors to login and create their own profile.

Create Your Own Virtual Fly Guide Profile

For every fly fisher, there are individual styles. There are dry fly purists and indicator nymphers. Regardless of your preference, fly fishing has a style all it's own. There are so many variations of this passion, it can suit everyone's style. Our intent is to create a network of fly fishers who showcase their individual style.

The VFG Bulletin Board allows fly fishers to not only post reports, photos, videos, and comments, but also to create a profile. Click on the link below to find out how to create and update your Virtual Fly Guide profile.
