No Tell Canyon




Most anglers out there would admit to having at least one special spot, one great fishing hole, one secret little paradise that they can turn to now and then for some reliable, unspoiled fishing...a place that virtually no one knows about. That's what I call "No Tell Canyon". When I stopped by the fly shop late on Tuesday to pick up some drake patterns, one of the new guys working in the shop asked where I could possibly be going. After all, everything is high and muddy right now...there's no dry fly fishing, right? Where would there be drakes pouring off? Somewhere in Idaho...or was it Wyoming? Fortunately, I was able to spend the day Wednesday with This Is Fly editor Brian Hodges in No Tell Canyon, casting dry flies to 5 pound Brown Trout. Very memorable, and a beautiful day to float. I hope you all have at least one No Tell Canyon to visit now and then. Until then, we're still dealing with a high Snake, Green and South Fork. Things should be looking up in the next couple of weeks.
