🚗 Travel: We’ll meet PROMPTLY at 9:00 AM and drive as a group to Phantom Canyon (about 3 miles up the road). Participants will leave their cars in a designated parking lot at the entry way of the property that houses Phantom Canyon. Due to the terrain of the dirt road terrain leading up to the fishing spot at Phantom Canyon, participants will then be shuttled to the fishing location.

A little more about the event:

This event is possible through a unique partnership with The Nature Conservancy (TNC), an environmental nonprofit whose mission is to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends, and that our experience at Phantom Canyon Preserve is not only a chance to fish, but also to appreciate and be inspired by the place, CFF’s and TNC’s mission, and help share that with our community. The property is not managed or used solely for fly fishing, and was protected to maintain its wild character and important habitat. The Preserve is a refuge for an impressive diversity of wildlife, more than 200 species of birds, and over 600 species of plants. As this is not a property open to the general public, but rather used for education, research, and conservation, our mission and partnership gives us unique access to this place. We hope you will appreciate and enjoy being there and help maintain the special place that it is!
