Colorado Summertime Fix
There is nothing like summertime in the mountains of Colorado. Thunderstorms, sunshine, green drake hatches and those lovely freestone rivers. I was able to get back for a few days on the water during a quick trip earlier this summer. A big thanks to Marc Basset, Kurt Olesek and Josh Lively for the good times on the water, cathcing all those fish, and rowing all those boats.
Happened to catch the green drake hatch on the Roaring Fork for a few nights … so sweet it is.
This looks like a nice place to sit and watch the water go by.
