Flow: 108
Water Temp: 32.54
We don’t have much of a fishing report as we’ve been volunteering at the Southern Colorado Greenback Chapter Trout Unlimited booth at the Fly Fishing Show in Denver. Thanks to Alex Zip from the Drift Fly Shop for coming up to help and Bill Miklich for putting it all together. We sold a ton of raffle tickets for the March drawing and scored a ton of goodies for the FFO raffle after we announce our winners. Teams Scott-Costa one and two are donating a Scott Radian ($795.00) for the longest trout and six pairs of Costa Del Mar blackfin and fantail sunglasses ($250.00).
We as most of you know don’t have a brick and mortar store (and never wish to) so today when a handsome young man knee high to Peyton Manning walks up and asks “Excuse me, are you Ben?” I was a little surprised when he handed me a deposit for a trip. We usually have to bust our tail for every outing we get. Nobody walks in our font door because we don’t have one.
Talking to him and his dad it was quickly apparent that this kid is an accomplished angler and I’ll have to give him my absolute best. But then again those are the days I love the most. If you can take one good technique from us and master it we’ve done our job.
I’ve always remembered Jack Palance’s “one thing” line in City Slickers and the “one thing” is fly fishing. Fly fishing; however isn’t one trick or technique, it’s ten thousand. We learn something new every day.
Keep discovering,
Ben
