Ed will be giving a presentation on

CATCHING DIFFICULT TROUT
This program is full of new ideas for
catching those trout that leave most
fly fishers scratching their heads. These
could the ultra selective, highly educated
fish found in heavily fished public waters
or they could be the trout in your favorite
stream that just happen to have an
“attitude” on a particular afternoon. The
program explains the importance of your
approach and casting position, slack line
casts, the use of small flies, using spent
spinners as attractors, terrestrials as
attractors, how to match the riseform and
the hatch, and fishing the zones where trout
are feeding. In addition, the program covers
crucial equipment checks that will help
you land difficult-to-catch trout once you
do hook them.


Ed Engle has been an avid fly fisherman for the past 30 years. He has fly fished throughout the continental United States, Alaska, Mexico, Chile and in Europe for a variety of game fish species with a special emphasis on trout.

As a fly fisherman Ed is especially interested in small fly tactics and techniques. His small fly fishing research has taken him to a many of the West's famous tailwaters and to spring creeks across the country. He is also dedicated to fly fishing small streams and high country lakes for wild trout. Ed balances out his interest in the “small side of fly fishing” with the avid pursuit of king salmon on the fly.
Ed lives west of Colorado Springs, Colorado within 40 miles of the South Platte River, one of Colorado’s premier tailwaters, where he guides and instructs fly fishers.
