Default Lee's Ferry


Hook up with Lee's Ferrry Anglers. Terry Gund is the owner and has a
stable of great guides. Your really need a power boat to get upstream to
the dam. They will take you to wade the great rainbow riffles.

I went about 15 years ago and was lucky enough to get Terry who has
written many books on the river as well has been on ESPN. He also guided
in Alaska in his youth. His wife Wendy is not bad either.

They have nice cabins to stay in with a killer restaurant and Bar with
great steaks. Beautufull country.

The fishing was great and the fish I landed and I caught many all
rainbows averaged 16 inches with a couple of 22 inchers.

I have fished many streams out west, but no rainbows fighted like this.
Size 18 to 20 nymphs on 6x and 7X. He has a great ultra down stream mend
techic. You really have to let them run or you will lose them.

Worth the trip.

Cheers
