As I spend the summer patiently waiting for the birth of my newest fishing buddy (can't wait) I have spent a lot more time fishing for good quality information to further my knowledge of fly fishing on the interwebs rather than actually fishing on the water. In lieu of time on the water, which is irreplaceable, there are some good sources of info out there. However there is also a lot of bad or just plain regurgitated info as well. So I thought I would share a site that I feel is absolutely the best especially if you are living and fishing anywhere in the Boise, Idaho area. Say hello to the Trout Lie.
If you are ever thinking of fishing in this area (Southern Idaho, Eastern Oregon) I would suggest that at the very least you visit their site for first hand, in depth fishing reports (no recycled info there) that are updated weekly. If you live and fish in the area they are on top of the strategies and flies that work on our local rivers. If you can spare some change they have a members section that for the price of a low level monthly netflix subscription gets you access to great fly tying video tutorials for very relevant bugs on our waters, tutorials and classes specific to local waters down to the season, video journals, informational articles, and much more. Not to mention 30% off their quality stock of flies available in the online store.
Although much of their articles and tutorials are geared towards our local waters the advice can easily be applied to waters all over the west and most likely beyond. In an Internet world loaded with information it can be tough to sift through the good and the bad so it is nice to find a place with information you can trust and that is useful. It is especially nice that, for me, the resource has a local base. First hand knowledge from those who truly fish the waters they talk about is priceless.
Now it's back to tying some flies and waiting for the catch of the year to arrive!
