Joe Butler - The Latest in Big Trout "Secret New Waters"
Joe
Butler revels in finding new “big trout” waters, and
travels all over the U.S. doing it. He has been an instructor and
a guide in Colorado for 32 years. Joe teaches fly casting, fly tying
clinics across the west and also hosts fly fishing trips throughout the
year, including every fall to New York state tributaries of lake
Ontario known for their giant brown trout.
He owned and operated an all-tackle fishing store in Westminster for
7-years and for the past 16 distributes fly fishing products all over
the country as “Joe Butler flies, Inc.” He also
developed his own signature multi-system fly rod, a six piece system
with interchangeable tips for varying conditions.
For 21 years Joe held the fly rod brown trout world record, a 27lb.
3oz. monster caught on 8lb. test at Flaming Gorge. He has also
held the world record for kokanee salmon caught on a fly.
Joe has authored two books, Trout’s Choice and Big Trout on
Flies, and several fishing booklets. He has been host and
also guest on numerous television programs, is a prolific writer and a
popular speaker at civic clubs, Boy Scouts, schools and TU programs.
Meetings are normally the Second Thursday of each month in Gander Lodge at Aurora GANDER MTN. (Click here for map and more)
