What stands in your way of catching the big one?

Ever find yourself on the banks of the Bitterroot River feeling frustrated and discouraged? Perhaps you wonder:

  • Am I casting right? 
  • Is this the best fly to have on the end of my line? 
  • How do I “read” the water to know where to cast?
  • Would it be possible to tie my own fly?

Chuck knows every detail about tying flies. He is a wonderful person to talk to. I had a fantastic time learning about Chuck and picking his mind about what I should use and where I should try. Thank You for sharing your knowledge with use.

"Chuck the Fly Guy"

Ever since I was driving down the road 40 years ago and saw a man with a big Rainbow trout on the end of his line, I’ve been hooked. Fishing is my joy. But teaching others the skills to fish is my true passion. Come check out my flies and sign up for a class to tie your own flies or take a casting lesson.
