Isn't it time you experienced
The Lady as seen through the eyes of the guy that named her that ? There is nobody that knows the Elk River better or has patterns that work better on the Elk then Dave Breitmeier aka the Elkfisher . The reason for this is simple .... There is no one alive that has spent more time fishing & guiding on the river then Dave has ! His knowledge of the river is legendary . For the 1st time in 2 years you can put his 3500+ days on the river to work for you , the Elkfisher is back :) ! Whether you are a long time Elk River fisherman wanting to take your Elk River game to a new level , a 1st time visitor wanting to get up to speed here quickly or an absolute beginner wise enough to know it pays to learn straight from the best, Dave has got the knowledge , patience and experience to make your Elk River dreams come true ! |
Guided TripsWe of course are offering Guided Fly Fishing Trips on both The Main Elk , & the Slaty Fork section . We are also offering guided small stream trips for native brookies and wild browns .

The Elkfisher's CornerThis is my blog . It is the place to go for stories about the Elk River , fly fishing life etc ... or it could also be viewed , I guess , as a collection of random thoughts or even the ramblings of a mad man . You be the judge ....

We will be talking about things like reading riseforms , flyfishing in muddy water ( when the river looks like it does in the picture) , fishing through a hatch , etc ....

This page is my way of saying thank you to all of you who have supported my madness and kept me on the river doing "research" all these years . You have literally changed my life and there is no way to truly repay the debt I owe you for that but maybe at least I can help you put a few more fish in the net .
This page is dediated to Ken "the old man" Yufer , my mentor . Had Ken not been willing to share so much with me I wouldn't have much to write about .
