Ernie Gulley Fly Fishing Guide Service

Stillwater fly fishing specialist, Ernie Gulley, was one of our speakers last year and everyone agreed his presentations were spectacular. One of his presentations was about fly fishing tactics for Crowley Lake, e.g., best places to fish on the lake and which patterns work best. (It is not unusual for Ernie’s clients to have 50 + fish days with most fish more that sixteen inches long.) Crowley is considered one of the premiere stillwater fisheries in the country and Ernie, a renowned Crowley guide, has graciously donated two days of guided fishing on the lake for two anglers for the price of one. Winner pays $400; Value $800. The trip will be available during the 2014 fishing season and per the scheduling of Ernie.
