Adventure Flyfishing

I love flyfishing and I really love flyfishing in solitude. Places I love to fish tend to involve long or strenuous hikes in order to get away from people. I've been to a few of these places lately and was blessed for the effort. First is my flyfishing eden, revealed to me by a trusted friend and revealed by me to only one other person so far. That is all I can say. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

The hike down.



Fishing along the clifff walls.



Pretty Cutthroat.


Another nice cutthroat.


Yet another.

The catch of the day. Beautiful fish. Congrats Nate.


Happy Fisherman.


I've been in Colorado at my new job now for a few weeks nursing a broken heart over leaving Montana. But when life gives you lemons you make lemonade for the hike into your new fishing spot. I had a few priorities for my first month here. I needed to find a place to fish. Finding a place to live could wait. My research paid off and the first spot I tried is pretty good. This river is full of monster Rainbows and Browns. Sorry about the poor quality cell phone pictures.


Thickest fish I've ever caught. Took 5 minutes to land it.

Same fish as above. Heavy.

Pretty bow.

Another fatty.
