Spruce Creek Fly Co 2009-2010 Events!

The season so far has been extremely busy…and we are grateful.  Thank you to all who have come to central PA to fish with our outstanding guiding team.  We enjoyed everyday on the water wtih you!

Below you will find UPDATED information regarding our current specials for summer, our tremendous fall season and upcoming fly fishing shows, presentations and other news.

Couple’s Fly Fishing Weekend Getaway!

September 11th, 12th & 13th

Our Couple’s Getaway in May was so successful…we decided to do it again!  Enjoy two days ogguided fly fishing, organic cooking, beautiful scenery, spa services and time withthe one you love.  All inclusive package:  two days guided fly fishing, all flies and tippet, accommodations, 1/2 hour complementary massage for both, all healthy and organic meals (YES THEY ARE ALSO DELICIOUS!), fly tying, instructional casting demo (for beginners and advanced) and relaxation.  Reconnect and enjoy time together!  We must limit our event to three couples to ensure the best service, instruction and safety.  So far, we have one slot booked.  Please contact us to reserve your weekend away!

Montana Dreaming

As usual…Eric will on the road…to Montana.  Our host ranch, Upper Canyon Outfitters, is a wonderful getaway for fly fishermen/women, big game hunters and a great family vacation.  Our schedule for our Montana Getaways is July 1 to September ???  This year we were fortunate enough to have an additional guide on staff, Lance Wilt, who went out west the last week in June representing Spruce Creek Fly Co.  This allowed Eric to guide all through June and July here in central PA.  August in Montana offers great fishing…and much needed help by our company.  So Eric is heading out for the first two weeks in August but will be returning for our fall season, along with Lance.  You can check out UCO at www.ucomontana.com. 

Additional Staff

As mentioned above, we brought on staff Lance Wilt in March of this year as one of Spruce Creek Fly Co’s premier guides.  He has been a tremendous edition and has allowed Eric to branch into other forms of fly fishing education…off the water!  Did I mention his upcoming book?????  No worries…he is still guiding!

Anyway, the transition and acceptance of Lance by anglers has been so smooth and wonderful (mostly due to his incredible guiding skills and easy going personality) that we decided to take on another guide and offer some different services.  Rob Reeder is the newest member of the Spruce Creek Fly Co.  Born and raised in Hollidaysburg, Pa, he has fished and guided upon the waters of central PA all his life.  Rob also brings the great talent of Small Mouth Bass fishing to our company.  Look for Small Mouth Bass trip specials and tying instruction (during the Winter Blues Classes).

Last Update:

For those of you who didn’t know…Eric and I are expecting our first baby (they say it’s a boy) in October.  Which is another reason Eric didn’t spend the entire summer in Montana.  We are very excited and just wanted to let everyone know that we are producing future anglers and fitness experts alike.

Happy Fishing!
