In a little over a month the Fishwest staff and our guests will be embarking on the 2016 Fishwest hosted trip to the Andros South Lodge. In preparation, we thought we would share some sound advice from our friends at Deneki. The experts at the Andros South Lodge in their infinite bonefishing […]

Santa was kind to me this past Christmas and brought me a brand-new Abel TR-2 fly reel, presumably to be used on my 5wt fly rods. I’ve been a fan of click-and-pawl reels for a long time (it’s my opinion that you don’t need a disc drag reel for 90% […]
Catching a fish every month of the year is a good fly fishing resolution. My brothers-in-law made this pact a few years ago and I try to follow suit. It is a pretty easy goal if you just get out there on the water. But if you live in the […]
I’m fairly new to the world of fly fishing despite growing up in Utah and spending a majority of my summers in the mountains of Park City on my grandparents’ ranch. Nature has always called to me, and because of that, I have found passion and happiness existing in the […]
With 2015 ending we at Fishwest have been reminiscing on all the new experiences, species, good times with friends and adventures we’ve been on this year. I think I can speak for all of us when I say this was a stellar year on the water for the staff, here […]
As I prepare to break out my shiny new 2016 calendar here at Fishwest, I am excited for another visit to the Deneki Andros South Lodge in February. In order to get further prepared for the trip (or for any saltwater trip for that matter) I wanted to talk about […]

Learn more about the Utah based author Spencer Durrant by reading below. Stay tuned […]
Lake trout are a tough catch for most float tubers. They often frequent depths beyond the easy reach of fly tackle. They also tend to inhabit very large lakes. A lot of things have to come together to pull a laker up to your tube. So when my friend Rob […]
Many people have a connection with Sage Rods and hold them in reverence. I remember growing up and learning to fly fish using a well worn 590 RPL from my dads collection. I must say that rod has quite the story with it in my hands. A few breakages and […]
Finding people that share the same passion for fly fishing is always great for us as a staff here at Fishwest. The best part is when we find anglers and guides who can bring us a unique perspective that we have never experienced before. As the latest member of the […]
With the holidays right around the corner the staff here at Fishwest thought it would be appropriate to share their “Wish Lists” for the upcoming year. As most of you know fly anglers can never have enough gear but here are a few items that the staff wouldn’t mind having: […]
