Why I fish: “I fish for the thrill of presenting a fly so perfect that it entices a trout to eat it, and then the thrill of releasing that fish to be caught another day.”
3 Favorite flies: “The 3 that are catching fish” . . . . Stimulator, Tungsten Pheasant Tail, Crystal Wing RS2
About me: Dzifa is an avid fly fisherman and fly tier, who has fished Colorado’s and surrounding states waters for 25 years. His addiction is so bad he has been known to sneak out of bed late at night to tie flies. He is a board member of the Denver Trout Unlimited chapter, and wishes to preserve the sport and waters for future generations to enjoy. When he is not fly fishing (which is rare), he spends time with his wife Katie, and their 2 dogs Faust and Ayla.

Why I fish: “The hunt, peace and relaxation, and to get away from the bull&#@!”
3 Favorite Flies: Stimulator, Pheasant Tail, Midge Pattern
About me: Gil is a Colorado native and lifelong friend of Dzifa. His Father taught both him and Dzifa how to fly fish, and can be blamed for their addictions. You can always count on Gil to have some whisky to help keep you warm on those winter fishing days, or any other day for that matter. When Gil is not fishing, he is playing with his 2 dogs, or spending time with his fiance’ Shea.

Location: Centennial, CO
Years Fly Fishing: 15

Why I fish: “Because I’m geeked out”
3 Favorite Flies: Stimulator, Loop Wing Emerger, Crystal Prince
About me: Jeremy is as he says “geeked out”, and is one of the fishiest guys I know. He has guided out of Durango on the Animas River, and out of Vail on Gore Creek and the Eagle River. While Jeremy is still single, he is looking for a good woman who can cook, tie flies, row, and listens to country. I do believe the only thing that is negotiable on his list is the cooking.
