Boulder’s fly fishing is legendary!
There’s a real art to fly fishing.
Since the fly has negligible weight when compared to typical fishing lures the line ends doing most of the work of moving the ‘fly’ into position.
In other types of fishing the lure has enough weight to pull the line out as needed and by braking you drop the lure where you want it.
Fly fishing has different casting motions and they take time to learn as does the way you hold the rod.
There’s a few basic types of lines, double-taper line and weight-forward line. Here’s a short video about the basic equipment you’ll want.
There’s a lot of folks around the Boulder area that offer fly fishing lessons:
- Front Range Anglers
- Rocky Mountain Anglers
- University of Colorado Recreation Center
- Boulder Mountain Fly Fishing
- and many, many more!
