Grindstone Lakes Invitation
Fly and Field Outfitters’ guide service manager, Griff Marshall is hosting a trip to the world famous stillwater playground, Grindstone Lakes this June and you’re invited! We have secured three days in mid-June for prime fishing, good weather and long days to explore the ranch’s five unbelievable lakes. If three days of wide-open spaces, disconnection from society and killer fishing sounds good, read on! Griff has been really lucky over these last thirty-five years to fish a ton of private water, and Grindstone is easily his favorite. This is a very special place, remarkable for its remoteness, stunning beauty and truly epic fishing. Typically, you’d have to get a group together to experience Grindstone, but with this trip it can be just you, or bring a buddy. If you’re familiar with this place, very little prodding should be necessary! If not, let us show you a few pictures…
