What is fly fishing?
In fly fishing, we use a rod and a weighted line to cast something small that looks like food to fish.
— Lucas Bissett
“Knots are so hard to learn.”
“Fly fishing is really expensive.”
“The casting is so complicated.”

Common Myths about Fly fishing:
Our goal at Murray Guides Fly fishing is to make angling
easy and fun for the beginner. Come on out and see how we do it!
“It is utterly soothing to fly fish for trout. All other considerations or worries drift away and you couldn’t keep them close if you wanted. Perhaps it’s standing thigh deep in a river with the water passing at the exact but varying speed of life. You easily recognize this mortality and it dissipates into the landscape.”
Why we fish…
“Trout are among those creatures who are one hell of a lot prettier than they need to be. They can get you to wondering about the hidden workings of reality.”
“The essence of fly fishing is not catching fish. It is about experiencing the beauty and wonder of the natural world.”
