Trout Unlimited
TU is dedicated to conservation and protecting the waters we all love to fish, or at least dream about fishing some day. Anglers who appreciate this and want to help protect our trout rivers should join and support this organization.

Gunnison Angling Society
This is the Gunnison Chapter of Trout Unlimited, our local TU chapter here in the Colorado Rockies. We're a small chapter but an important TU presence here in the Gunnison Valley focused on protecting the rivers and streams in the Gunnison River Drainage.

Willowfly Anglers
Willowfly Anglers is a full-service fly shop and Orvis Endorsed Guide Service located at Three Rivers Resort in Almont, Colorado. The resort and shop are at 8,000 feet in the Rockies, at the gateway to the Taylor Canyon - where the Taylor River merges with the East River to form the Gunnison River. (I manage the fly shop and guide service.) The resort offers lodge rooms and cabins on the river, with excellent fly fishing and rafting on our local rivers. Visit the web site for details and come visit us soon!

Alder Creek Rods
My friend Ron Barch makes great quality bamboo rods. Check out his web site and shoot him an email. I am a big fan and really enjoy fishing Ron's cane rods. Treat yourself to a Ron Barch custom made bamboo rod. You may never fish graphite again!

Friends of the Upper Delaware River
FUDR is working hard to protect the Upper Delaware wild trout fishery. Click on the link for details about FUDR and their mission.

The West Branch Angler
This is where we stay on the West Branch of the Delaware River. The WBA is a great place to stay and fish, and also a great place to get a nice dinner. They have hatch charts and river updates on their site as well.

Catskill Flies
If you're ever in Roscoe, NY, be sure to stop in and visit Dennis. It's always an enjoyable experience. He has a really good web site here, which includes excellent stream reports for the Beaverkill and the Delaware rivers.

Wild Mountain Trout Fly Fishing & Virginia Smallmouth
Mountain spring-creek fly fishing located in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, offering guiding and instructions for trout (Brook, Rainbow, Brown) and smallmouth Bass. Anglers of all levels welcome. Available 362 days a year.

Streams & Dreams
Streams & Dreams is a B&B retreat which sits on 15 beautiful acres, on the Youghiogheny River in Western Maryland, near Deep Creek. Don and his wife Karen are excellent hosts, and will make you feel very welcome. Don also offers fly fishing instruction and is extremely knowledgeable about the rivers and their hatches. So if you're headed to Garrett County for some great fly fishing, check out Streams & Dreams for a unique B&B experience.

Richard Stone Fine Furniture
You're probably wondering why there is a link to a furniture web site here. Richard is a friend who builds beautiful custom handcrafted furniture. He designed and built a solid oak rod rack for me, which now holds my fly rods, tubes, and gear. If you're looking for a central place to store your gear, and you want a nice piece of furniture custom-built for you, you'll want to check this out. Click here to see some photos.

Fly Tying World
Lots of information here if you're into tying your own flies. All the great tiers are listed here, along with their fly recipes.
