Hello! I'm heading to Beaver's Bend this weekend for my first fly fishing experience. I have a saltwater angling background so I'm super excited for a freshwater experience plus the challenge of a fly setup. I've got a guide (Cody Thomas, I think) from the fly shop and I'll be spending a day and a half on the water with his help. If you see an inexperienced fisherwoman on the water with her dad and a guide, please say hello! The goal is to learn a few things and then head out there on my own over some weekends to practice and enjoy the outdoors. Would love to get to know y'all and learn from your experience. Cheers!

Welcome to fly fishing! It is such a joy to have in one's life. Also, kudos to you and your dad on fishing together. I look forward to a life fishing with my child. Tight lines!

Cody is awesome and will teach you plenty. Tell him to show you different methods and parts of the park. He can teach you about anything. Everything I know I learned from Cody....hold on. That may not be much of a compliment!!
Seriously, I hired Cody the first time I went to BB and he really was awesome. I am new to fishing and especially FF, so we are all learning to some degree. Everyone on the river is super friendly, don't be a stranger.
Read the trout camp thread.

Hey guys! I had a great day and a half on the river with my dad. Between us, Cody put us on about seventy fish! I’ll be back for sure.

Yeah, Becca it’s like that every time you fish there....... That's great news, Becca! Welcome to the forum, and welcome to the addiction! I hope you're able to visit several times this winter. When the weather turns warm again, Beavers Bend transforms to a mecca of mayhem. I noticed, though, that you fish the salt water. That will be a great alternative to the wonderful wintertime fishing we experience for the next few months. |
