Mike/Midger - Nice! Great read and sounds like seriously fun fishing. Thank You!
Fishing is the most wonderful thing I do in my life, barring some equally delightful unmentionables.

Reads just like Mike talks. Well written, interesting and as always, informative. Mike is a wealth of fly fishing information and man, can that fella fish.

Excellent read and not what I was expecting from the title. I've never been there (Lee's Ferry) but I could picture the scene quite nicely. Thanks for the read, Mike. 8-)

How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

Thanks for the nice comments. Lee's Ferry is a beautiful fishery even when the fish aren't biting (which fortunately isn't that often). The sheer vertical, red sandstone canyon walls are truly a wonder to behold. Those wanting to go, this is prime time and will be for the next three months. Tight lines.
"Should you cast your fly into a branch overhead or into a bush behind you, or miss a fish striking, or lose him,or slip into a hole up to your armpits-keep your temper; above all things don't swear, for he that swears will catch no fish."
