A note from Dantes Rodriguez:

“While in the backcountry with my best friend and coworker Aiden Lofgren, we witnessed something truly special. We were fishing for Cutthroat Trout in a pool that looked very promising. The weird thing was, we weren’t getting any hits. After about 5 minutes, we knew something was up. Since the fish were being tricky, we decided to downsize our tippet and go smaller with our flies. The first cast after we switched, Aiden had hooked a nice fish. Within seconds, a massive 30”+ Bull Trout appeared out of nowhere to eat the Cutthroat he had hooked. This is what we witnessed… Jurassic Park.”

In Search of My Five Weight

Nelson Oxley
I’m originally from Tabernash, Colorado, and my passion for fishing started early, influenced by my grandfather, who managed Nelson’s Fly Shop. As soon as I got my driver’s license, I began guiding, and now I’m in my seventh year of doing so. I am a Account Manager at Flylords. I work with various brands in the industry to grow their digital marketing presence and run campaigns to increase their product and brand visibility. One thing I love about Flylords is the passion that goes into our work; everyone is deeply involved in what we strive to create. My favorite types of fishing are casting dry flies from a drift boat and stalking flats species from a skiff!
