The summer is waning and fall river conditions are the norm right now. The fishing is still hot so call for an opening time with me. If you want to fish numbers we can dip into the canyon. If you like bigger fish the dream stream is pretty good right now for bows, cuts, and browns.
Email me at milliron4@gmail.com or call if you have my number.
Guiding is slowing down but the fishing is still hot!

Tired of broken fly rods
If you are like me, then you have seen your fair share of broken rods, and most of them aren't from a big fish snapping it in half. Car doors, tires, stepped on, run over and more. This usually happens after you take the rod out of a secure holder. To battle this issue, I teamed up with a buddy and we came up with an invention that addresses it, THE SPORT VALET!
Check it out: SPORT VALET We are launching on kickstarter Sunday Nov. 1st. If you want one before anybody else, check it out.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1383910707/1185824514?token=e15cb08c

Alaska 2015
This year I have the pleasure to host/guide 5 guys from all over the U.S. We leave either Denver, Colorado Springs, and New York on the 22nd of July and all converge in Anchorage. From there we are renting a truck from ABC rental and heading to down to my buddy Kevin's tower cabin. We call it the tower because he built it to model a fire lookout tower. It's amazing. On day one, we will discover what the salmon are doing in the upper river, head down to the confluence of the Russian and Kenai rivers, or maybe head to the lower river. New this year is another addition to our fleet of boats. Now I have the choice between a willie 17', Willie 20', or the jet boat.
After we get our fish boxes filled with salmon, we will hunt down some big rainbows. Fires have closed a section of River that have some truly enormous fish known as the dunes and rainbow alley. With the fire almost 100% contained, I am hoping they reopen this section and get the guys on some huge Bows.
To wrap up our 8 day adventure, I have contacted good friend Capt. Ron for 2 days of halibut fishing down in Anchor point, AK. If the seas are under 4 footers, we'll be out for easy "butt" limits on the 27th and 28th.
This is an adventure of a lifetime for most of these guys. I can't wait to see their faces as they tie into a different class of fish in Alaska. Ones that will hopefully make lots of memories, fish tales, and happy fisherman.

Rivers coming down in Colorado, FINALLY
Mid July marks the run off period ending in Colorado, and usually the fishing picks up again. Most of the S. Platte, the rivers I guide on, have been 6-7 times higher than usual for June and this time of year. But recently they have calmed down to fishable levels. So lets go fishing!!! Give me a call or email me to set up a float trip or wade fishing trip.

Colorado Winter fishing
Well I finally saw some blue wing olives for the first time today. This signals the end of small tiny size 26's flies and will allow consistent fishing ,weather permitting. As good as the South Platte fishes during this time, you may also wish to concentrate on the Ark below the dam and also hungry browns throughout the drainage. What I love about the BWO's are the ability to fish this hatch below,subsurface, and on top appealing to all angler methods. So get out and fish today. Or give me a call for either a wade in trip or a float trip on my boat.
Cheers!
Cheers!

Alaska on the mind?
I have been fly-fishing and sight seeing in Alaska since 1997. I have logged in over 380 days between July and October and am ready to share all my experiences. I toured everywhere a car can drive and several remote places by bush plane,raft,or on foot. I love to find hidden local restaurants and can help you plan a trip you will soon not forget. Already, I have advised over a dozen satisfied people on trips and hosted several fly fisherman myself. For a nominal fee I can eliminate a lot of questions you have about your dream trip. Alaska is expensive to travel to and stay in. I can help you find the best lodging money can buy, or more affordable solutions for the budget minded traveler. Email me to get prices. I love talking ALASKA!Jeff
ps I have done a week in Alaska for under $750...including airfare! I have also spent more than $4,000 as well.
It just depends on what you would like to do.




There are some huge Kings in Alaska! In some drainages they can be fished through July. If you want a shot at sight fishing or dredging some big Kings in the 50 pound range give me a call. I can point you in the right direction.
