    Biggest catch I was able to hand release on Easter! 😅🤦🏼 Lost two bigguns but was still rewarded with many of these smaller guys. Had to stop for bbq dinner on ...more the way home to take the sting off. Also, my nail and selfie game are lacking right now. 😓

      All fun places. Sadly I can't go very far since I can't only go to places that are in biking range, although I might be able to sway my dad to take me to ...more one of those places. Ps are you going to the fly fishing expo or the sportsman expo?
    3. Elisa G 0
      Noah, I don't know them all but my go to's are usually deckers, elevenmile canyon, dream stream, the ark in pueblo stays fishable, you can hit the blue still ...more too. There's also the dsp in town!? 🤷 🤣
