Short Promo Film For Fly Fishing Outfitters in Avon, Colorado. I still wish it was fall. A little to cold for the streamer thing right now. I have tried and with the 34 degree weather those fish are not moving quite as fast. But, you gotta try.

I know it is offically winter when I am going through old pictures and re-living events of the past. Lately I have been on an Alaska kick. Something about that state, which I cannot describe, seems to be ….. I dont know. I have only been there once and really hope to get up there again. Maybe this summer but right now that seems to be light years away. A couple summers ago we were in Lake Creek Fly Fishing for Rainbows. Really a cool spot. Slept in small cabins on the Yentna River, drank moonshine, saw Aurora Borealis and railed the crap out of trout. More Here






What gets you excited about these trips is generally the fishing and the remote destinations. But, when you think back about it what you remember is the camaraderie with the group. Like fishing with your dad and then watching him fall off the deck after too much moonshine. Laughing around the dinner table at night. Making new friends. Being scared of bears but at the same time wishing to see one. All these things are what I remember from out trip. The fishing was great but the company was better.

My friend Joe Willauer has blossomed a new blog called Evolution Anglers check it out. There are some whitty and funny posts over there from a man who is as fishy as it gets.

Joe spends his summers throwing big foam hoppers along the banks of many Montana Rivers. This is where I met him. Joe, RA and I shared whiskey, beer and tobacco at the Stonefly Inn this past summer and thought it would be a good idea to close the Blue Anchor, a local bar in town, bad idea. joe was kind enough to lend me his couch and RA a cot in the tin palace. I dont think I saw Joe the next day the next time we would meet would be in WA chasing Summer Run Steelhead.

Give his blog a look and put it in your favorites. See you on the coast Joe.
