Fly Fishing Colorado and the Driftless Area
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
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
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
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
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
Well, it's been a while. I'll cut right to the chase. I started this blog to document my fishing and I plan to do that more consistently in 2020. New Years resolutions right!? Here goes nothing... This past week I made it to the Fly Fishing Film Festival on Friday, checked out the Denver Fly … Continue reading 2020 Week 1
It is rare to be the first and only car parked in a parking lot along one of Colorado's famed tailwaters. This usually means that you are fishing on a weekday or you got there early. I happened to find myself in both situations. I enjoyed the solitude for an hour or so before a … Continue reading Dream State | 3/12/2019
On Sunday I had the pleasure to spend the afternoon fishing with my friends AJ and Andrew. These are two guys that I have met through Red Rocks Church in Denver and found that we each have a passion for fishing. AJ had to work Sunday morning so Andrew and I attended the early 9 … Continue reading Fishy Friends | 3/10/2019
I found nothing but blue skies and brown fish in the mountains on Monday. As much of a fishing trip as this was, it was also a recon trip to check out some new areas to fish. My plan was to check out a few lower stretches of this river and use my new subscription … Continue reading Blue Skies, Brown Fish | 3/4/2019
This day has been on my mind since October 27th, 2018. That was the last day of a 2 day, 3 night backpacking/fishing trip that I took into this canyon last fall. The spot that I ended at that day was where I hiked back to and started fishing up from on Monday. The goal … Continue reading Winter Hike’n Fish | 2/25/19
