Cry Me a River

Fishing below the dam on the Taylor River in Colorado - gold medal trout fishing - can be tough. The brown and rainbow trout are big and smart. Yes, I have to admit, I've actually had a little frustrated cry as I was sitting on the banks trying to untangle my 6x line for the umpteenth time; outsmarted by lunkers that jumped all around me. (I secretly think that river has made some men cry!)

But fishing with Marty is all pleasure. He shows me the best spots and offers helpful tips. He is the best guide!

We've fished this stretch in the winter; climbing over ice banks to get to the water and in the middle of summer. This fall day was pretty cold and damp but, as you can see, all smiles!
