Welcome!
The Pikes Peak Flyfishers (PPF) is a friendly group of Colorado Springs fly fishing men and women who share their love for the sport. We have a lot fun getting together at our monthly meetings and participating in our club trips. You will find this group of people very knowledgable about flyfishing and interested in helping you learn more about the sport in any way they can.
The PPF meet once a month on the first Wednesday of the month. There are programs and projects for all experience levels, and newcomers to the sport are especially welcome. The club is also an affiliated chapter of the Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF).

Our next PPF Club Meeting will be held on Wednesday 6 June. Duane Redford, a professional fly fishing guide will be our featured guest speaker.
Duane Redford, a professional fly fishing guide, spends the majority of his days guiding on the South Platte River below Deckers, Colorado. That stretch of the river can be difficult to guide because of the constant changes in river conditions. The conditions range from high angling and recreation pressure to undesirable water clarity due to the erosion of a few feeder creeks. Since the Hayman Fire nearly ten years ago, the South Platte River has battled several obstacles in its recovery. One large obstacle to recovery has been the persistent erosion of Horse Creek into the South Platte. Duane is very passionate about the health of the river, and has prepared a presentation to help bring this issue forward. When he’s not guiding, Duane spends his time teaching fly fishing classes, and recently published his first book on fly fishing. When he’s not teaching, writing or guiding, you’ll find him on the river. To order Duane’s book visit www.FlyfishersPlaybook.com . For guide services or other information feel free to email Duane at lonearcherguideservice@yahoo.com. Also, you can hear an archived nationwide broadcast at www.askaboutflyfishing.com .
