People

: Scott Fairbanks; Scott Fairbanks has been fishing the Rocky Mountain West for 35 years and has lived in Mesa County for nearly 20. Scott’s grandfather instilled in him an interest in fly fishing and tying as a child, when the two often spent whole days fishing together in Idaho. Influenced by his “do-it-yourself” upbringing, Scott began tying his own flies in 1995 and enjoys the sense of satisfaction he gets from catching fish on something he made himself. Scott, who has learned from several mentors throughout the years, is always grateful and appreciative to learn more about fly fishing and tying and enjoys passing that knowledge on to others. He still fishes at least once a month.
