Even though this site will be under construction
for awhile, you should find some interesting information
in the coming months.
I
hope everyone has had a great year on the water. I
know I have, the flows were perfect throughout the
year and the trout were friendly. I spent the 2005
fishing season working on a DVD project titled Fly
Fishing Colorado's Major 6 which
I am excited to bring to you. Contact your local
fly shop for availability. The DVD can also be found
at Stogies
& Bogeys, located at Park Meadows Mall - Colorado

What's in Fly
Fishing Colorado's Major 6
There
are many rivers in Colorado you could call major, but I
had to pick a few and go with them. Popularity, productivity,
and accessibility were taken into consideration.
-
The Arkansas River
-
South Platte River
-
Colorado River
-
Gunnison River
-
Roaring Fork River
-
Frying Pan River were my picks.

You
will find great local information for each of these rivers,
basically when and what to fish, much like what you would
find in my book, Fly Fisher's
Guide to Colorado. We incorporated
local talent like Bill Edrington on the
Arkansas, Moose Hofer on the Gunnison,
Roy Palm on the Frying Pan, to name a few.
The fishing information and techniques, on the other hand,
can be added to anyone's repertoire and improve your fly
fishing success anywhere in the world.
I have
always liked the visual aspect of learning this sport. I
followed Gus around like a little puppy trying to learn
this great sport 20 years ago and to this day I still enjoy
watching him. I consider him one of the best fly anglers
and now I watch him like a hawk to see if I have missed
anything. I have been fortunate to have such a grand fishing
partner. Now, I would like to pass along my knowledge to
you.
Each
river section in Fly Fishing
Colorado's Major 6 is between 20 and
30 minutes so there is well over 2 hours of total footage.
There are helpful hints and tips spread throughout. It will
be hard to sit down and watch the whole thing at one time,
so break it up into several sittings and devour as much
of the information as you can. I know it will give you some
ideas to take to the river and hook more trout. I have also
thrown in a fly tying sequence for each river. I picked
6 flies that anyone should be able to tie and I am sure
you find that they work as well for you as they do for me.
BONUS DVD
I have
always tried to give my customers and clients as much value
as I can, so this project will follow these same high standards.
Jay Alipit (my producer, cameraman, and editor) and I have
decided to put in a bonus 2 hour DVD which includes tours
of some very important Colorado based companies that are
vital to the fly fishing industry.
The
DVD will retail for $34.95. This a great value for over
4 hours of fly fishing information. Check the price on other
fly fishing DVDs and videos and you will see Fly Fishing
Colorado's Major 6 is a great buy.
Thank
you for visiting the web site and I truly hope you find
this new DVD helpful. See fly shops for availability. or
Click
Here to purchase directly from me. I will soon bring
you a monthly journal of what the fishing has been like
and maybe just some interesting stuff I find along the way.

the Sunday December 12th issue of Denver Post for Charlie
Meyers take on the DVD. [View
