The fee fisheries of Paradise Valley include DePuys Spring Creek, Armstrong's Spring Creek, and Nelson's Spring Creek. These three creeks offer prolific hatches and challenging fishing to selective trout. When heading to any of these spring creeks, the correct fly selection and great presentation are crucial to having success. If you are the type of angler looking for a challenge, these creeks are for you. For more information about current fishing conditions and fly selections, please call or email us.
After working in the shop the past two summers, as well as instructing some of our Fly Fishing Classes, I’ve gotten to interact with tons of new anglers who are just getting started. One of the biggest takeaways I’ve found from these interactions, is that people are really intimidated by the knowledge surrounding fly fishing, specifically knots and different rigs.
Perhaps one of the most helpful, time-saving tools/gear I’ve ever come across is the tippet ring. Many of you have probably already heard of them, but with how much it has helped clients and customers, I feel the need to reintroduce.
