We just finished a 4 day stillwater fly fishing school at Fortress that featured Phil Rowley. Phil came to share his knowledge of fishing stillwaters with us and it turned out to be a fabulous weekend where much fun was had both on and off the water. The weather cooperated nicely and the sun shone consistenly. As one of our guests commented, the balance of learning from Phil's indoor seminars and then going out on the water and practically applying that new found knowlege made for a very fufilling weekend. Many fish were caught on both a chironomid set up and on streamers. Landing a 6 lb brookie on a 5-6 wt rod set up with a size 12 chironomid is a whole lot of fun, especially when they continue to dive deeper into the crystal clear depths of the lake. There were a lot of laughs throughout the weekend, some of which came from the crazy hummingbird mating noises, which became quite the signature of the weekend :) A lot of fun was had by the guests and the staff alike. We look forward to offering this style of weekend again next year. Please email us if you have interest in coming and we will add you to our list of participants. A huge thank you to Phil for his contribution to this very successful trip.
