Bob Krumm Presents ZEN NYMPH FISHING OR "ZYMPHING"
Please join Bob as he takes you to a new level in nymphing. Famous for his guiding services on the Bighorn River, using his specialty nymphing techniques, he'll start you on a new set of rules (hummmmmm) with his Zymphing!!

Year after year I observe anglers nymph fishing the deep runs and holes of the Bighorn River and for the most part, doing quite well. Still, the competition for the choice spots on the river can be intense while the majority of the river goes unused.

During the summer time anglers can find some excellent fishing in the shallow riffles and flats. An angler can either fish these sites from his or her boat or pontoon boat or wade fish much like dry fly fishing.

The Zen part comes from the intuition and knowledge that an experienced fly fisher can develop. Those subtle little riffles, that slight declivity in a foot of water, a small log, a softball-sized rock can give a trout just enough cover and protection to enable the fish to meet all its needs. Being able to predict which riffles, declivities, rocks, and logs is part intuition, part observation, part experience, and part faith.
Having the right equipment and flies also enters into the overall equation.
Come and discover the art of zymphing and how you can improve your fishing success.
Do yourself a favor and come hear Bob as he describes how Zen can help us will the fish onto our flies. I can't promise success, but I can guarantee lots of fun thinking about it!

Steve Lundy Silver Trout Foundation

About 1997, Silver Trout Foundation received a request from Barry Nehring, desperately trying to manage a research crisis in the maelstrom created by Whirling Disease. He conceived a project that could not be totally funded by CDOW, to research Whirling Disease using Windy Gap reservoir as an outdoor laboratory. Silver Trout stepped up to the plate, and along with some other donors helped fund Barry’s initial research into the cause, effect and relationship between mud, worms and fish at Windy Gap.

Paul and I will be hosting a trip on October 14, 15,16 and departing on the 17th. We will have a large lodge right on the Clarks Fork as our headquarters for the event. There will be guide services for drifting the river each day "ala cart" and opportunities galore to fish on your own. There are at least 10 rivers within a few hours drive time from the lodge and the fishing in the fall is spectacular to say the least. Lodge sleeps 10 anglers. Depending on how many book the trip, the price will be around $70.00 per day, per fisherman, food and any adult beverages will be extra. You provide transportation. It's approx. 12 hour drive from Boulder. Commercial plane flights are numerous and not expensive.
