"Bragging may not bring happiness, but no man having caught a large fish goes home through an alley." -Anon
With fall on the way out and the cold of winter setting in, expect to start seeing more techincal conditions on our Colorado tailwater fisheries. That doesn't mean you won't get into fish, they'll just be more difficult to catch. So put on your warm skivies and wet a line.
If you are one of the growing number of folks that are into the fly fishing E-Zine scene we hope you'll take a look at the latest issue of Bloodknot. wtotf's Mike Miller recalls one of his most interesting angling trips and there is some other top notch stuff in there as well. Just click on the 'Off the Grid' issue and enjoy.
