Did anyone check with Andrew? Lol

Planning a big trip next year starting in Wyoming fly fishing my way back to AZ over two weeks or so. I am a rookie at the fly deal and could use some help, oddly enough I'll be building my own rods and lines from scratch but I'm not sure on length and weight. If you had two rods and 3 reels what would you bring for rods and what 3 lines would you spool? Also if you had your pick of rivers to hit what would be your top 2 rivers in Wyoming and Colorado?

I'm in

Great info thanks a ton. One cool deal on my guided float is flys are included, that will help get me started then I can shop local and get the right flys , for Wyoming anyway. Right now I have a total of 7 flys. Haha

Do some reading there are a lot of benefits ,

I think my wife had hers in 5 weeks, that was about a year ago

Well I'm already paid for 2 days with river options in Wyoming which is why the big trip, I don't wish to pay past what I am at now so 2 days will be it then I plan to hit a new river or area and do some backpacking / exploring. Same deal for Colorado, no guided there just whatever I can backpack to weather it be lakes or rivers. After hitting the lake today I may bring 10 spools!!! Getting the hang of it though.

Oh and on a guided float day what would one tip for a typical day?

Great info man thanks, I was leaning to 5wt and 4wt but I like the 3wt idea. If I'm lucky I may have all 3. The reels will be another issue. Don't know much about strike indicators but I will inform myself asap

Just rained out my way

Really freekin good, you can see the cure didn't quite make it to the center and not sure why but you can't tell at all, tastes just like beef pastrami. Really good on its own and even better as a Reuben

Turf soaring school up by lake pleasant has some great guys, I have flown with one of his tow pilots several times and gliders as well. I would look into gliding to start with, aircraft are reasonable to buy and you can fly for hours super cheap. You get to learn most of the electronics as well. I too have a dream of my own plane some day.

Yep, we were just up there and a bunch were right inside the gates. Bummer

There's pics on Facebook

Let's see how many know what this is and where? Edge , don't give it away.

Due to lack of interest here it is, these are old phone towers about 10 miles down in the Grand Canyon. They run mainly from the north rim to about phantom ranch at the bottom.

I'll be there

I've heard every podcast and some twice and to the best of my memory Arizona has not been discussed past coues deer hunting.

No response, hoping they have time to look into our local issues

Super dry yes

Getting closer

Maybe this will help some

If you think that sun exposure by choice is bad wait til you here about a little 27 mile stroll through the Grand Canyon! My brother in law had this on his bucket list and I volunteered to help make it happen. North rim to south rim hike into the inferno. Full sun exposure and 100 degrees plus on our climb out of the canyon. 12 liters of water in 10 hours.

All 4 not close at all

Not sure if this ever had power running but it for sure was a very old phone line.
