Its been a busy summer, but I’ve still managed to get out on the water. I’ve explored some new spots, while visiting the usuals with some new and old partners.

My brother came out earlier this summer to visit CU and learned how to fly fish. We took him up to the mountain to chase some cutties on his first backpacking trip. We found some…

A few weeks later, my wife and I’s parents came out a for a weekend in Salida. Here’s my dad with his first fish on a fly rod.

While the ladies went shopping, the guys went on a guided trip with ArkAnglers.

 

After learning the basics, fish were caught.

 

Persistence always pays off!

What a fish to end the day with!
