Our History
The Virtual Fly Guides were born out of a combined 40 years of fly fishing experience. Between Sean, Darin and Dan,
our Dad, we contemplated how we could share our fly fishing experiences with others. Being the self-sufficient fly
fishermen we are, we love to explore the places where trout live. The problem is, you have to start somewhere.
Whether it's in the local fly shop, word of mouth, or online, the information is usually difficult to come by. Typically,
fly fishers, along with fly shops, are not eager to share their secrets and prime fishing spots. Don't get me wrong, some
fly shops are very helpful, but other times you walk out the door of the shop feeling like you missed something or only
got half the story.
So, in September of 2006, we were headed toward the East Carson River near Markleeville, CA and the gears started
turning. We knew we were onto something, but we had no idea what it would look like. One thing led to another, and
we took the first big step and created this website. We've narrowed the focus of the Virtual Fly Guides into one main
theme, "Fly fishers guiding each other by sharing their personal fishing reports".

Our Philosophy
Our Vision
By sharing our reports and experiences in fly fishing, we encourage other fly fishers to do the same and become Virtual
Fly Guides. Regardless of your skill level, or how many days you spend on the water each year, everyone can learn from
everyone. Our vision for the Virtual Fly Guides is to create a network of fly fishers around the country, and around the
world, who guide each other by sharing their personal fly fishing reports.
Fly Guides. Regardless of your skill level, or how many days you spend on the water each year, everyone can learn from

world, who guide each other by sharing their personal fly fishing reports.
Our main philosophy is, fly fishing is too much fun and trout live in too many beautiful places, to keep it all secret. Let's
be honest, we can see the impact of our population on every river, lake, and pond. Whether it's trash, monofilament, or
beer cans, people treat these precious resources with disrespect. As fly fishers, usually without exception, a desire to
maintain pristine settings are of the highest priority. That's why, we believe, that sharing our fishing reports with other
fly fishers can actually have a positive impact on the fish and fisheries. We practice "catch and release" and have a
caretaker mentality when it comes to the places we fish. We trust other fly fishers will do the same.
