Gin-clear, cold running waters and magical crystalline pools flow beneath the watchful eyes of towering granite cathedrals, providing an excellent underwater habitat for gorgeous wild trout including browns, rainbows, brooks and goldens, with the occasional view full article... |

When I first moved from California to the beautiful state of Colorado over 10 years ago, I had heard of fly-fishing, but had never tried it. Within days of arriving in my new paradise, I promptly headed down to the local fly shop to purchase my first rod and reel. The guy behind the counter set me up with a 9 foot 5 weight rod, a box of flies, and a view full article... |
