Colorado

This past summer I was a guide at a Colorado guest ranch.   Smith Fork Ranch.  Great experience.  Whole lotta work.

Great fishing.  Great friends.

Since I'm backtracking again, I'll let the photos do most of the work...

This southerner had a rude awakening in early May… it wasn't NC shorts and t-shirt weather

West Elks

Needle Rock

Wild Smith Fork Rainbow

First Gunnison Brown pulled out of the chocolate milk runoff

Tail end of the salmonfly hatch.  They crawled all over you.  Chukar Trail. 

The new craft - the Gheenoe

Floating with fellow guides Joe and Wyatt

Never a good thing to read on a new river

 Don't worry.... there was a narrow chute to go through

That summer flew by way too quickly.
