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!

Delaware River Foundation
The DRF is a coalition of anglers, citizens, towns, and conservation groups which have joined forces to improve the habitat and water flow rates in the Upper Delaware River and its tributaries. They work very hard to increase flows and maintain minimum levels for the East and West Branch of the Delaware, and the Neversink. This is a huge task, and the situation must be constantly monitored. There is a lot of history here. To learn more about the challenges the DRF and these rivers face, and how you can help, please check out their web site.
