Trouts Fly Fishing

The Things They Carried: Ascension Bay

We were able to catch up with Tucker Ladd, Owner of Trout’s Fly Fishing, right before he walked out the door and hopped onto a plane with his wife Whitney bound for Ascension Bay, Mexico. This area of Mexico is known as one of the most prolific “Grand Slam” fisheries on the planet - where anglers get a shot at bonefish, permit, and tarpon all in a single day. Tucker has spent time fishing saltwater flats before - but for Whitney, sight casting to bonefish, tarpon and permit is a whole new game.

Trout’s Spotlight: Copi Vojta

If you have picked up a recent copy of the Flyfish Journal and have been stunned by the photography, you’ll want to meet the man who helps to make it all happen.  We were lucky enough to catch up with Copi Vojta for a few minutes earlier this week to find out what is going on in 2013, we poached a quick river report for the Roaring Fork River Valley, and picked up a few tips for budding photo journalists interested in breaking into the magazine world of fly fishing.  We also found out that Copi has an aversion to leeches and has aspirations to star in Superbad II… who knew?

Trout’s Spotlight: The YR Ranch

The YR Ranch is a Featured Private Water and favorite fishing destination for Trout’s Guide Service.  Late February through April is a unique season for the YR Ranch. During this time, rainbow trout push out of the Colorado River into the Lower Blue River and anglers get a chance to target large and aggressive fish.  This property offers a variety of amazing fishing situations - dries, nymphs and streamers can all be productive throughout the spring.  There are currently only 15 days available to fish this property between now and the end of April 2013.  Trout's Guide Service is currently accepting reservations for fully guided fly fishing trips and these slots will book up fast.

Spotlight: Sage CIRCA Fly Rod

“I was always a fan of the Sage 389 LL – it became a cult classic.  When I first cast the CIRCA my first impression was ‘WOW… this is just like a LL… but lighter.”
