Liarflies: Colorado Fly Fishing Adventures

Liarflies: Colorado Fly Fishing Adventures Liarflies: Guided fly fishing trips on the Cache La Poudre River, Big Thompson River, Rocky Mountain Realizing he was right, Liarflies� was born.

Since 2006 Liarflies� has been providing custom trout flies for local fly fisherman and fly fishing guides here in Northern Colorado. We here at Liarflies� are fortunate enough to be employed as guides for Rocky Mountain Adventures; Inc in Fort Collins, Colorado. Some of the waters that Rocky Mountain Adventures is permitted operate guided fly fishing trips on include The Big Thompson River below

Estes Park, Colorado, The Cache La Poudre River near Fort Collins, Colorado as well as in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Liarflies� is culmination of a lifelong passion for pursuing anything with gills with a fly rod. As guides we have developed our own unique and sometimes not so unique fly patterns that we like to use with our clients on our guided fly fishing trips. Often at the end of our outings our clients would ask us where they could buy the flies they used that day. We would kindly let them know that we tie our own flies and only had what was left in our fly boxes, and if we had a few we could spare we would insist that they take them at no cost. We would also let them know where they could purchase other high quality flies at one of the local fly shops. It was during one of these exchanges that a client called us bunch idiots for giving away our flies. Having confidence in the flies you use is key to being successful as a fly fisherman. Liarflies� takes great pride in the quality of our flies. Monetary success has never been the driving force for us. We are focused on doing something new with our fly-fishing apparel and custom trout flies while at the same time challenging the status-quo.

Week 2. Still the Thingymarob.

At some point it stops being luck.

Pair it with a •16 Electro Penguin.

We’re also starting to see PMDs show up. Keep an eye on tomorrow’s conditions report—we may be talking more about those.

The Upper Poudre is shaking off runoff and coming into its prime early-summer form. Flows are settling, insect activity is ramping up, and fish are becoming increasingly willing to feed on the surface as the river finds its seasonal rhythm.

We’re finding fish on dry dropper rigs, and caddis and stonefly activity is building and fish are starting to look up more consistently.

What we’re fishing this week:

• 12 Thingymarob
• 16 Electro Penguin
• 14 EC Caddis

Start high. Cover water. Keep an eye on the caddis windows.

See you out there.

1 Fly We Trust This Week: •12 Thingymarob

Some flies make sense.

The Thingymarob isn’t one of them.

It doesn’t match much. It doesn’t look like much. Yet somehow it keeps finding fish.

High water. Deep seams. Pocket water.

We quit asking why a long time ago.

Don’t ask questions.

Just fish it.

Runoff is fading and the Upper Poudre is fishing more like summer every day.

Here’s what we’re reaching for this week:

• 14 EC Caddis
• 16 Electro Penguin
• 12 Thingymarob
• 18 BWO Cripple

Flows are dropping across the watershed and fish are settling into their summer lies.

Using a 12 Thingymarob paired with a 16 Electro Penguin has been our go-to rig on guided trips this week.

See you out there.

The Poudre is still playing nice.

A few healthy fish, happy anglers, and plenty of reasons to get out there next week.



We’ll drop our full Upper Poudre “What We’re Using” report tomorrow with the flies, rigs, and approach that’s been getting it done.

See you out there.

Runoff is fading and the Upper Poudre is starting to settle into shape.

Mornings have been the ticket. Water clarity improves early, fish are looking up more often, and caddis are becoming a bigger part of the conversation.

What we’re reaching for:
• 18 Pink San Juan
• 16 Electro Penguin
• 12 Thingymarob
• 14 EC Caddis

Fish early. Watch clarity. See you out there.

1 Fly We Trust: •16 Electro Penguin

On most days on the Poudre, this fly earns its place below a •12 Thingamabob as one of our most reliable droppers.

It sinks quickly, fishes clean, and continues producing when conditions shift.

The Thingymarob grabs the attention.

The Electro Penguin seals the deal.

Available only at .

See you out there.
