Bud Lilly's Trout Shop

Back in October of 2005, we spent a week in West Yellowstone and fished throughout the park. Since we had not fished the area in a very long time, we hired a guide for our first day of the trip. We hired a guide from Bud Lilly's Trout Shop by the name of Brian Berry. Brian took us to the Madison in Yellowstone and quickly got us into fish. It is always a good idea to hire a guide for areas you are unfamiliar with. It can jump start your success with getting into fish. Visit Bud Lilly's Trout Shop website for more information and if you are planning a trip to the Yellowstone area we recommend Bud Lilly's amongst all the other fly shops.
As side note, if you have not read "A Trout's Best Friend" by Bud Lilly it is a great read and provides a interesting glimpse into one of the most influential fly fishers and fly shop owners in western fly fishing. Click on the Amazon ad on the right of this page to get your own copy.

Babbitt's Flyfishing Specialists, Flagstaff AZ
If you are looking to fly fish in places like Oak Creek Canyon or Lees Ferry, AZ, and you are staying in the the Flagstaff area, there are only a few fly shop options. While on a family trip to Flagstaff for some winter fun (sledding and skiing), we visited Babbitt's Flyfishing Specialists in the Old Town area. It's a nice little Orvis shop that even includes the typical fly shop dog. My kids pointed him out after I walked right past him, lying in his comfortable chair. Grant, the guy behind the counter, was very helpful and engaging, two traits that every person in the retail fly fishing industry needs to master. We enjoyed our visit to the shop, but I quickly became jealous when Grant mentioned he was heading up to Lees Ferry the next day. I suspect he wanted to get in some last minute fly fishing in before the El Nino driven storm will drop up to 8 feet of snow on the area.
I recommend visiting the shop and stock up for your Northern Arizona fly fishing adventures. Here's how to find them:
