I'm going to be giving a free presentation on aquatic invasive species and pathogens in Colorado this Sunday the 23rd at the Lake Arbor Community Station (8110 Vance Drive Arvada, CO 80003). It begins at 5:30pm and is free to attend. Bring whoever you'd like! I'm trying to bring some sandwiches or pizza for attendees, so leaving a comment to let me know how many of you are coming is encouraged but not necessary.

See you there!

Took a day off to fish for myself with some of the Colorado Women Flyfishers today. Lots of brook trout on dries in where the water temps are far less oppressive.

Hey everyone! Once again, I am heading across the state to urge CPW to reconsider our practice of allowing live baitfish to be imported across state lines. This practice opens our many headwaters to invasive species and pathogens. As a guide and competitor, stopping the spread of invasive species is important to not only my career, but to the future of this sport and the health of our waterways. So in this video, I'll be demonstrating the proper way to clean your wading boots to prevent the spread of one of our most prolific problem species right now, the New Zealand mud snail.

This is a sample of the equipment we at Upstream are providing FREE OF CHARGE to any interested fly shops, outfitters, etc to establish a boot cleaning station. Know anyone interested? Let me know!

You can submit public comment to CPW at the following link, which will generate a sample email for you. You can send it as is or modify as you see fit. Very little effort, helps get CPW's attention about the issue before I show up to talk in person. They are expecting my face at these meetings now. https://app.activoice.org/campaign/stop-the-stall/

Hi! I'm still Terra, and when I was 15, I learned how to parallel park in San Francisco. I still have a good deal of availability for guided trips in July, so shoot me a DM or give the shop a call at 888-739-3508 to request me by name and discuss a booking. There are still plenty of options with safe water temps for happy trout!

Water temps are starting to get iffy in some places, but the fishing in RMNP continues to heat up. Call Front Range Anglers at 877-935-2975 to book a trip up in the next couple of weeks here. No timed entry required. When you call, request Terra who is on the Women's Fly Fishing Team USA and knows how to get you on fish.

Hi, I'm Terra! It's Pride Month and one of the ways you can be a good ally is by giving me your money. I do half and full day guided trips that can encompass anything from beginner to advanced instruction, 1:1 or large party trips, rivers or stillwater, public or private. I am also able to incorporate euro nymphing into my guiding this year. I guide all over the Front Range and South Park.

I tie custom boxes and flies, whether you have something specific in mind or just want some patterns that work. Get them from someone who knows what's working on the waters you're heading to. If you're really allergic to money, I offer 1:1 fly tying instruction. Achoo!
