Looking for a Fly Fishing Partner Thread...etc

Xiph0id · #1 01-21-2013, 09:58 PM

I know its way too early I'm thinking we should have a sticky in the sub-category. As most people know fly fishing partners are a bit tougher to find and some fly fisherman can be more selective.

What do you all think?

Sounds good to me, im returning fly fishing from a 5 year hiatus and I don't have any friends in the Edmonton area who fly fish. Been fly fishing for most of my life, and i really need a partner willing to do the odd boot out to the mountains and such.

I'd be up for it too.
I'm new to these shores and don't know anyone who fishes, yet. I enjoyed exploring last year but it would be great to discover new places and go with someone like minded.

A flyfishing partner... or several would be awesome. If anyone is planning any trips and does not mind someone who is still learning quite a bit, let me know

Bjay · #13 07-22-2013, 11:15 AM

Hi guys
Would this thread be better if the latest post be shown first instead of last. It would help to keep the post up with the latest interests and requests. My opinion.

Jdohe · #14 07-22-2013, 04:04 PM

I am working nights 5-1am this week and I am wondering if anyone wants to fish the bow an afternoon this week? I am a beginner but would love to learn from a more experienced fly fisherman or even just head out with another beginner. Shoot me a PM and we can figure something out!

New to Calgary looking to go out. I do not no the area so you would need to be my guide. I left my waders back home so dry land would be ideal. I can drive I have a truck. Looking to go Sat or Sun.

waynep · #22 10-03-2013, 09:18 PM

Anyone interested in going to police lake this Sunday, I have a pontoon but am not against fishing out of a boat if you have one.
Wayne

slivers86 · #23 10-18-2013, 05:43 PM

Going out for my last day on the tube - upper k will probably be my location... perhaps lower as well... Let me know if you are interested in joining. Have room for 1 more person, and 1 tube (or packable pontoon). Let me know! leaving early, leaving k country around 5

Same here. Long time fisherman but i just picked up my first fly fishing outfit today. If somebody would like to share some knowledge, i would like to start in the few pothole lakes around Edmonton. I also have a nice fishing boat for bigger water if anybody interested. I provided the boat, you, the knowledge lol.

I should pick up quickly as i used to follow my dad who use to be an avid Atlantic Salmon fly fisherman. But i haven't touched a fly rod in over 20 years. Hopefully i can catch a few trouts without loosing an eye lol.

jts1 · #27 05-06-2014, 10:54 AM
