Heading out to fish the Poudre? Here are a few flies we wouldn’t leave home without... ~ With the recent shift in weather, we’re starting to see some changes in the bugs as well. From guided trips to customer reports, one thing has become pretty clear: things are getting a little smaller out there! Midges and BWOs are becoming a bigger part of the equation, and we’ve been recommending that anglers size down their fly selection. Patterns in sizes #18–#22 have been a great place to start when fishing the Poudre this fall. ~ There’s a lot of nuance to fall fishing, and not everything is easy to explain in a caption! Fly selection is just one piece of the puzzle, with presentation and knowing where to focus your efforts being equally important. If you’re planning to head up the canyon, swing by either shop to talk flies, tactics, and where to spend your time on the water. We’re always happy to help you put together a game plan! #stpetesflyshop #weareguestsonthisriver #poudreriver

We’re just a couple of days away from our LAST big event day of the season...The Bend of Season Sale! Join us this Saturday, October 24th, ALL DAY at BOTH SHOPS! ~ The season may be winding down, but the deals are just heating up! This is your last big opportunity of the season to stock up on gear and save some money. We’re talking up to 40% off select flies, 15% off all other flies, deals on apparel, packs, bags, and so much more! Plus, we’ll have gift card kickbacks on major purchases like rods, reels, boots, and waders. At this point, it might be easier to tell you what ISN’T on sale! ~ And what’s an event day without a little extra fun?? We’ll have an awesome raffle featuring a variety of prizes, plus FREE beer from 2–4 PM at both shops to help take the sting out of those big purchases! ~ This is our last big event day of the season, and we’d love to see you there! Swing by either shop, grab some deals, and help us celebrate another great season on the water! #stpetesflyshop #weareguestsonthisriver #bendofseasonsale #eventday #letsmakeadeal

Cool mornings, changing leaves, active wildlife, and certain fish moving into spawn mode... ~ Fall is one of our favorite times to be on the water, but it’s also an important time to be mindful of what’s happening beneath the surface. As temperatures drop, brown and brook trout begin their annual spawning process, creating redds in shallow gravel beds where they lay their eggs. These areas often appear as clean, lighter-colored patches of gravel, sometimes with trout paired up or holding nearby (as seen in photo #2). ~ As you head out to enjoy some fall fishing, we encourage you to keep an eye out for these spawning areas and give them a little extra room. Watching where you wade, avoiding redds, and focusing your fishing efforts away from actively spawning trout are all simple ways to help protect the next generation of fish. ~ Spawning plays an important role in maintaining healthy, wild trout populations, and a little awareness on the water can go a long way. There’s still plenty of great fishing to be had this fall, so get out, enjoy the changing seasons, and help keep these fisheries thriving for years to come! #stpetesflyshop #weareguestsonthisriver #fallfishing #donttreddonme

Poudre River Update (10/17/26): Fall fishing on the Poudre is in full swing, and the river is in great shape! 🍂🎣 ~ Don’t let the low flows fool you! There are still plenty of great fishing opportunities up the canyon. Dry-dropper rigs continue to be the ticket, but sizing down your flies and presentations is key. Small midges, BWOs, ants, and beetles have been producing, especially in faster riffles and pocket water. ~ We’re also starting to see some spawning activity in the canyon, so please be mindful of spawning fish and stay off the redds! ~ Looking to get out this weekend? Swing by either shop for the latest conditions, recommended flies, and a little local insight to help you make the most of your day on the water. Happy fishing! #stpetesflyshop #weareguestsonthisriver #poudreriver #fallflyfishing

A friendly traffic update from none other than shop news anchor Aaron Alexandar (@aaron.alexander), bringing you the latest on this weekend’s traffic situation! 🚧🎤 ~ With the ongoing expansion project on Harmony Road, we wanted to give our customers a heads-up that getting to our South Shop this Saturday and Sunday might look a little different than usual. Give this traffic report a listen to help clear up any confusion about getting to the shop. Just like last time, these traffic disruptions likely won’t last all day. ~ For those who make the extra effort to swing by the South Shop this weekend, we’ll have a FREE sticker waiting for you! Maybe it’s a side quest for your weekend adventures, or maybe there’s that one fly tying material you can only find at the South Shop. Either way, we appreciate you making the trip! ~ A big thanks to everyone who makes it in this weekend. We appreciate your continued support, and as always, happy fishing! 🎣 #stpetesflyshop #weareguestsonthisriver #trafficupdate #localtrafficupdate

Fall means switching gears, and sometimes that means trying something new... ~ Shop staff and guides have been putting in the work dialing in the fall Northern Pike fishing here along the Front Range. With water temperatures dropping in our local warmwater fisheries, now is a great time to switch things up and target something new! ~ Pike aren’t the only species worth chasing on the fly along the Front Range. We’re still seeing plenty of actively feeding carp, some great smallmouth bass being caught out at Horsetooth, and all sorts of other unique species in between. ~ Looking to switch things up but not sure where to start? Swing by either shop, talk some fishing, and let us help you put together a plan of action.
