Colorado Fly Fishing Reports: Tip of the Week

Tip of the Week

If you hike up past 11,000 feet with a flask of whiskey and you are super excited that you remembered it...don't be tempted to start drinking from it at 10 am. You will fall asleep on a rock in the sun and temporarily lose your fly rod.

In Neck Deep

"There are moments of Zen clarity in these stories of Jay Zimmerman's fishing journey toward selfhood, and thank goodness, for they counterbalance moments of great uncertainty and intemperateness, nearly always refocused by the presence of creeks, rivers, oceans, and lakes. From Panama to Alaska and back to the Heartlands, the author finds in fishing and fish and the art of fly-tying a way to find his path into love and life. Think of Melville's Ishmael, reborn as a culture-shocked ex-paratrooper, struggling for meaning and accommodation in these contemporary chronicles of water, wildness, and meditation. This is a fine first book by a writer who has emerged."--Richard Hague, author of Alive in Hard Country
