Rest of 2020: Top 10 | Part 1

The trusty blazer still chugging along from one adventure to the next In the next two posts I will be highlighting some of my favorite trips that took place between mid May and the end of the crazy year of 2020. During this timeframe I worked a little, fished a lot, spent time in 10 … Continue reading Rest of 2020: Top 10 | Part 1 →

Distancing in the Driftless

2020 Weeks 12-14: March 16 - April 2 March was a month of transitions. Winter Park Colorado, Minnesota, and Corona virus. From leaving work as a ski instructor to living at home and from life as we knew it in early March to current life with the Corona virus. Fortunately, my hobby of fly fishing … Continue reading Distancing in the Driftless →

Wyoming

2020 Week 11: Day 1: Wednesday 3/11 As my time in Winter Park began to wrap up I started to plan out how I wanted to drive back to Minnesota. Over the last two years I have enjoyed changing up the way I travel from MN to CO and I have come to the conclusion … Continue reading Wyoming →

Ski Slam

2020 Week 10: With an extra hour of sunlight I knew that Friday was the day to give it a shot; ski and catch a Colorado trout slam in the same day. After teaching my last ski class of the season I hit the road to a place where I knew I had a shot … Continue reading Ski Slam →

No Snowshoes, No Problem

2020 Week 9: Thursday was an awesome early spring day on the river. Before the fishing part of my day began, I showed up for work and after the crowds of kids showed up, I somehow managed to be one of the few remaining ski instructors that hadn't been given a class yet. At that … Continue reading No Snowshoes, No Problem →

Don’t Fish White Flies in the Winter

2020 Week 7: More open water than I've seen in months Sunday was one of those days. I woke up at 4 am and hit the road with the plan of being on the river at sunrise for a full day bender. I left Winter Park in the midst of a blizzard and on the … Continue reading Don’t Fish White Flies in the Winter →

2020 Week 6

Winter Park Resort got dumped on this week. 53" of snow in 7 days. On the best snow day of the season I had the day off and instead of skiing/snowboarding I spent the day fishing some of the local waters. I caught a bunch of flak from my coworkers and roommates for this decision … Continue reading 2020 Week 6 →

2020 Week 5

This past week I made it out on the water twice and spent the weekend hanging out in Estes Park. On Thursday I worked a half day then headed west to fish for the afternoon. I showed up to a snowstorm and fished for a few hours as the snow dumped. It was a beautiful … Continue reading 2020 Week 5 →

2020 Week 4

This past week was a busy one! Once my friend Dillan left town I had a few days before the next round of people came out to visit me. I worked two of those days but had the opportunity to fish on the third one. The day that I made it out was an overcast … Continue reading 2020 Week 4 →

2020 Week 3

It seems to be a common theme so far this year that I'm only making it out on the river once a week. It feels weird to say but that's alright for the time being. There is some fishing close to where I live/work yet it's a small creek that only has a few ice … Continue reading 2020 Week 3 →
