Pieroway making an appearance in Paradise

This photo was sent to us by Butch Leone, good friend of Pieroway Rod Company. Butch is the owner/operator of Aitutaki Blue Lagoon Flyfish on the Island of Aitutaki, Cook Islands. His flyfishing operation targets trophy bonefish and trevally and Pieroway is proud to be an acquaintance. This might be the first Pieroway logo on a scooter, but probably not the last!! Way to go Butch!

Flyfishing Bootcamp, Sunday April 25th

     Pieroway Rod Company would like to invite you to join us for a Flyfishing Bootcamp we will be conducting on the Bow River this Sunday, April 25th. This is for anyone that wants to learn how to flyfish but considers themselves a beginner or novice. We will teach you tactics you can apply to flyfishing situations anywhere in the world. At Pieroway, we offer more than quality rods/reels at unbelievable prices. We offer a hands-on approach to flyfishing in markets that we operate. We do not sell you flyfishing equipment and push you out the door. We offer to show you how to use the equipment you purchase from us. We understand how overwhelming it can be to be a beginner to the sport of flyfishing and offer instruction and demonstration of our product we sell to you. We also understand experienced anglers are looking for performance out of a new fly rod. When you buy from us, you will not only own quality equipment, you will know how to use it. We will not make you feel uncomfortable in any way, no matter the question. We will not pressure you into a sale or sell you a rod/reel that does not suit your needs or fit you properly. Need a 9 foot 9 weight for Atlantic salmon? Or maybe a 6 weight for those big Bow Browns or a 4 for those West slope Cutties? We can hook you up; no pun intended. Have no idea what the difference between a 9 weight, a 6 weight and a 4 weight? That’s ok too. We can help. Wonder what a surgeons knot is? And why it’s needed to tie on tippet? Ask us. We can explain it and show you how. Our advice is one question away! From the beginner angler to the seasoned pro; we have a rod for you.

With professional instruction right at your side, you will be casting and ‘reading’ the water in no time! Learn how to properly handle your fish after the catch and how to safely unhook and release the fish back in the water, after a quick photograph of your trophy.

With personal instruction and all your equipment supplied, this one day bootcamp is all you need to master the art of flyfishing!

ONLY $25/person, sign up today! Spots available for this Sunday; more dates to follow! Contact us to join in!

Spey Discussion & Demo

 

This past week, Mike Bailey, Field Rep; Pieroway Rod Company, travelled to Edmonton for a Spey casting discussion and demo with the Northern Lights Fly Tyers club. Mike fielded questions in regards to Spey techniques for trout, choosing fly line and how to adapt and apply ones single-hand techniques to a double handed Spey rod. The weather cooperated and allowed Mike to demonstrate how to address and execute casting, as well as how to get the utmost performance from your Spey rod.

Mike would like to thank the Northern Lights club for the invitation and everyone that turned out for the meeting.

 

 

Wednesday: Wind and WireWorms

I'll admit it. I didn't want to go fishing this morning. I felt like I had just finished my night shift. Not only that, it was cold. It was windy. It had snowed. But I had the day off and Brad called to say he was on his way; so I got up.

After a short drive and a hot coffee we arrived at our spot on the Lower Bow. The wind picked up, and then some more as we hiked in to our hole. If the ducks and geese we jumped off the river were having trouble in the wind, casting may be a problem, but we were here now. After making a few changes in technique, we were forced to do kind of a modified roll-cast, but it seemed to work and soon we were fishing......and catching!






We battled the elements and stuck it out and ended up having an amazing day on the water. Several fish over 20 inches to the net and many more smaller ones made this one of the best days on the water so far in 2010. I told Brad we should go this morning!
