We will be here in June and cannot wait to go back. If you have never fished for Atlantic Salmon, consider going on this trip. The fish, the rivers and the location are absolutely pristine. https://www.coloradoanglingcompany.com/fly-fishing-travel/atlantic-salmon-fly-fishing-trip/

Slinging the pink worm with Fly Fishing Colorado

Big rain & higher water are pushing fish to the banks. Black Streamers have been getting a lot of attention. So has the pink worm. Don't let the dirty water keep you in the house.

The curse of the first cast fish is real. Oh well. We are finding a few on the surface during the right time of day. The warmer weather this week should help.

Ordering some new rubber from Down River Equipment today. Looking forward to days like these on the Eagle River.

Digging through the archives I stumbled upon this picture taken by Frank Smethurst during a trip to MX. I was a little nervous sitting eye level with Crocodiles on an inflatable SUP while Frank did battle with Baby Tarpon. Quite an adventure to that amazing atoll. Nick Denbow

Nice piece on the OP. Makes me miss our annual trips to the PNW.

Olympic Peninsula steelhead are the focus of a new video from Todd Moen and Catch Magazine. From Catch Magazine: “Fly fishing for the mighty steelhead is not always pretty, and this issue’s T…

VAIL — Vail Pass is closed in both directions as of 3:20 a.m. Tuesday due to an avalanche. Expect a lengthy closure, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. A photo from the Colorado State Patrol shows a semi truck with its cab partially buried. The closure begins westbound at Vail a...

Shivering in my basement has me thinking of warmer climates at the moment. Here is a screen grab of Ben Hulbert tossing his fly rod to Chef T as we scramble to get off a flat in MX. The rather large shark circling us in waist deep water made us pucker a bit.

Driving down the Eagle River this morning got me thinking about Pre Runoff Streamer Floats. We are doing our snow dance now but are already looking forward to fast moving pocket water on the Eagle River. Chef T is pictured here using his teeth instead of hemos somewhere between Eagle and Gypsum.

It has been fun dodging shotgun shells east of Denver. The Bluffs at Valhalla & Valhalla Kennels and Gun Dogs offer amazing Upland Bird Hunts in Colorado.

I find it therapeutic watching trout come to the surface. Especially this time of year when they slowly rise to adult midges. The slush has now found its way down the stream but we are still seeing a few trout poke their noses out occasionally. It is difficult to hold a camera instead of a fly rod while observing trout eat. But, we can certainly learn a lot from simply watching. Don't you think?

Joey went Marty Stouffer on these Mule Deer tonight. Much better than watching T.V. Mule Deer Foundation

Been hitting the water with Papa Mac the last couple afternoons. We've gotten lucky with a few midge sippers on the Eagle River. Off to visit big Zim tomorrow. The everlasting Autumn has been special.

This is my nightmare Denver, Colorado. At least the sunset was beautiful.

Happy Halloween to all you ghouls out there. Be safe.

It's ok to smile a little Joey when you find a fish like this. A White Sculpzilla is what we took out of his mouth. What is your favorite streamer pattern?

Gin clear water, suspended Rainbow Trout and a light Midge Hatch. What is your go to fly?

Nearly walked by this rooster Valhalla Kennels and Gun Dogs

Pheasants are pretty good at hide and seek but our Gun Dogs are a little better. Now is an excellent time to visit Valhalla Kennels and Gun Dogs for a fall hunt.

Had a good time rowing these boys down the Upper Colorado yesterday. You could really get a good mend with the 40 mph winds.

Not Sure How These Fish Hide In Inches Of Water But They Do. It's Kinda Fun Watching Them Blow Up On A 2" Streamer, If You're Into That Sorta Thing.
