On Saturday July 10 acclaimed, Colorado based author Ed Engle will take time out from his tour of So Cal fly fishing clubs to stop by the Spot, sign his brand new book, and talk fishing. Stop by to chat or buy his new book and get it signed. Ed will be in the store from 1pm until 3pm and will have some advance copies of his new book, "Trout Lessons" to sell and sign.
Ed Engle has been an avid fly fisherman for the past 30 years. He has fly fished throughout the continental United States, Alaska, Mexico, Chile and in Europe for a variety of game fish species with a special emphasis on trout.
As a fly fisherman Ed is especially interested in small fly tactics and techniques. His small fly fishing research has taken him to a many of the West's famous tailwaters and to spring creeks across the country. He is also dedicated to fly fishing small streams and high country lakes for wild trout. Ed balances out his interest in the “small side of fly fishing” with the avid pursuit of king salmon on the fly.
Ed lives west of Colorado Springs, Colorado within 40 miles of the South Platte River, one of Colorado’s premier tailwaters, where he guides and instructs fly fishers.
