Jack Dennis's "20 Places to Fish in the Rockies Before You Die"

April 26, 2009 By: Marshall Cutchin

Aaron “Chubbs” Peterson and friends attended the 16th annual East Idaho Fly Tying and Fishing Expo in Idaho Falls last week and came away with a considerably longer list of great northern Rockies fishing spots, thanks to Jack Dennis. They posted the 20 spots — or more accurately, experiences — on the FlyFishingFrenzy Web site and it’s worth a long look, even if you are a veteran Western trout addict. Lots of interesting stuff here, including Dennis’s take on fly rods: “Jack went on a little rant at this point in the presentation that you need to invest in a 4 piece 3 wt rod and not to buy a $500 rod, and that no one should own a $500 + rod. He apologized to Sage and other expensive rod companies, but said St. Croix makes a fantastic 4 peice 3 wt for $180.”
