Spring Newsletter 2012
 
Spring is just around the corner, it has been a mild winter to say the least. Minnesota’s winter catch and release season for trout is currently open and will run until March 31, 2012, Minnesota’s regular trout season for streams opens April 14, 2012. Stream trout fishing in lakes opens May 12, 2012 in Minnesota. Wisconsin’s early catch and release trout season opens March 3, 2012 and runs until April 29, 2012 with their regular season opening May 5, 2012. Try and take advantage of some of these early opportunities’ for some early fly fishing.

We will have a booth at the Red River Valley Sportsman Show in Fargo from March 1st through the 4th this year if you get to the show stop and see us. They have a great lineup of speakers well worth the admission fee. The Fly Shop will be closed during this time but we will be open until the 1st and back open on March 5th for your entire fly fishing needs. We just got in our 1st spring shipment of new flies so now is the time to stock up for those spring trips.

We are looking forward to the guiding season again this year and the opportunity to fish with old and new friends. We will again be offering trout trips on our stream trout lakes and fly fishing trips so book early to get your spot. We also offer clinics for fly rod casting, fly tying and we can schedule workshops for groups of 4 or more people that want to get started in fly fishing. You won’t be disappointed as fly fishing is a challenging and fun pursuit and we get to enjoy the great outdoors that we have been blessed with.

We have more fly tying sessions coming up this spring call the shop or myself to sign up: Thursday's March 22, April 12, April 26, and May 10 beginning at 6:00 pm, class size limited to 6 people and it’s Free; contact Doug or Roxanne @ 218-640-3164, 218-640-3163

Roxanne and I along with family and friends will be making our annual trip to the Bighorn River in Montana at the end of March, we look forward to this trip every spring, if you’ve never been to the bighorn you are missing out as this is a destination fishery with literally 1000’s of trout per river mile. If it’s your first time we would recommend a guide for at least a day to get to know the river especially if your alone and unfamiliar with the river. We have stayed with ABSARAKA FISHING BEAR CABINS @ http://www.bighornfishingbearlodge.com ever since we began going to the bighorn and would highly recommend them to anyone!

The trout season ended officially on October 31 for stream trout in the lakes, reluctantly we will put away our gear for now and wait for the winter season to open January 14, 2012.

Ice-out fishing for crappies and other panfish was a little inconsistent this past spring due to high water and cool weather, but we still managed to catch some nice crappies and sunnies. Trout fishing in the lakes was good from the opener right through the summer with it slowing a little in the fall. Our biggest rainbow this year was 21”, but we had a few that hit the 20” mark. October turned out great for both weather and fishing with a lot of nice fish caught on the fly rod. We caught rainbows, smallies, and northern on the fly rod - all in the same outing a couple of times – it was a great time to be out!
We want to thank those that went on a trip with us, we hope everyone enjoyed themselves! For those of you that stopped in to the fly shop during its first year in operation, we appreciate the support.
We held a number of free fly rod casting classes this summer and were pleased with the turnout and interest shown. We’ll schedule a few for this spring and summer for those interested.


We’ll be offering fly tying classes this winter beginning November 16 and we will be holding these every other week through January 11, 2012. We may schedule more, if there is interest? Call the shop to sign up or ask questions @ 218-640-3164.
We are offering ‘Destination Travel’ for trout and saltwater species through our Fly Shop at very attractive prices.  Give us a call at the Fly Shop @ 218-640-3164.
Book your fishing trip for 2012 to get the dates that you want. We offer trout fishing and fly fishing for bass, crappie, and northern.

Stop in and check out our FLY SHOP the next time you are in Perham. We are right on Main Street, next to Lakes Café.
