Community Member Spotlight
Chris Kuhn
Spending time at The Shop allows me to meet and spend time with the many members of the Arizona Fly Fishing Community. Our community is made up of amazing people, who share a love for fly fishing. One of the things that makes our community unique is the common desire to share our passion and knowledge with others. This months Community Member Spotlight, freely shares his fly fishing knowledge and passion with anyone willing to learn, his favorite person to share his time on the water with is his 2 year old daughter. He has been seen at the lower salt river with his precious daughter in his back pack, and at Oak Creek in her waders.
Chris is a gift to his family and to the world, we are lucky to have him as this month’s Community Member Spotlight.

Tell us your most memorable fly fishing story
In 2010, my family made a cross country road to meet my brother in Dutch John, Utah. Fly Fishing was slow that year but the scenery and lifestyle was intoxicating. This adventure set me on a path of determining a way to move to the mountain west and enjoy the active outdoors lifestyle.
Is there any advice you would share with the fly fishing community?
Bring your children to AZ Fly Shop family events, they will have a great time!
Arizona is a hidden gem when it comes to Trout Fly Fishing opportunities. There are an incredible amount of opportunities to Fly Fish in this desert state.
