Hindsight

July 9, 2017

Rumor has it that the terrific manager of The Colorado Rockies (Bud Black) has had second thoughts about dressing down his young pitcher in front of 48,000 fans. Nobody’s perfect and I doubt that we’ll see this again.

Denver Nuggets

July 9, 2017

The Denver Nuggets are searching. They have lost their marbles and need help in finding them. They recently signed 32 year old Paul Millsap to a three year $90,000,000 contract. That works out to around $366,000 per game. Take it a bit further and it’s $9,150 per minute assuming he stays healthy and plays forty […]

Comeback kids

Riley is going on the disabled list soon. He was racing around the back yard and injured his ACL and meniscus. Here’s hoping that he and Bethany Mattek Sands have successful surgeries and are back to 100% soon.

Rockies pitching

July 7, 2017

The Colorado Rockies have experienced some major pitching woes lately. Their starters are a bit young and inexperienced. They are learning the hard way that wise opponents just wait for the fastball knowing they’ll get at least three or four in every at bat. The good news is that they are grooming youngsters now who […]

Big fella

June 30, 2017

A very young cowboy met Ronald this morning. His owners say he’s the sweetest bulldog they’ve ever had. Weighing in at seventy pounds, Ronald is as friendly as they come. A word to the wise…steer clear of his tongue unless you’re wearing a rain suit.

Branded

Eleven year old Amy was having the time of her life at The Cheyenne Frontier Days. Her best friend Molly had asked her to join their family for a three day weekend trip. They loved the music of Rascal Flatts and marveled at the bravery of the rodeo stars who dared to mount the wild […]

Why do we fish at sunset? Let’s see…the biggest trout are on the prowl and the scenery is beyond spectacular.

Ooops!

Marsha Bledsoe is a 34 year old mother of two who loves her dog Thunder and jogging. Oh…and her husband Rob and the kids. I never knew her until last Monday. While practicing my fly casting on a pond nearby, Marsha appeared from no where. My size 18 Black Widow had just completed its back […]

Colorado

June 23, 2017

The ninety-five plus days this week have been a bit oppressive in Colorado. How fortunate we are to look forward to fall in just a few short months. As you can see, autumn in the mountains is take your breath away beautiful.

Hector

June 23, 2017

Andrew just learned that frogs and toads do not give people warts. He couldn’t be happier and has resumed training Hector for the annual frog leaping contest in Pensacola later this summer.

Help

June 20, 2017

After getting skunked yesterday at The South Platte River at Deckers, I began wondering if there might be a better way. Turns out there is. A group in Durango called Duranglers trains bald eagles to help fishermen in need. Give them a call if you’re planning a trip to a western Colorado this year.

Wish list

Wanted: one belly boat, one fly rod, and ten days in Jasper National Park.

Smile

May 7, 2017

It was quite a trip to The South Platte River at Eleven Mile Canyon. This has to be one of the most scenic places in Colorado. The rainbows and brown trout were very spirited and the views of snow capped Pikes Peak were extraordinary. A very young cowboy decided to take highway 67 back to […]

Unexpected treats

April 27, 2017

Yesterday, a very young cowboy cast a blue wing olive to very finicky brown trout while four deer grazed fifty yards away. On the ride home, five elk munched on grass a mere twenty-five yards from the winding dirt road. The prize, however, goes to these three characters who bring a smile to everyone who […]

Just one more of a series of pictures that proves that the game of hide and seek originated in the animal kingdom.

No thank you

Toe tapping

March 11, 2017

It was an unseasonably warm day in late January when we decided to take a hike near Chatfield State Park near Denver. While fishing there two weeks prior, a very young cowboy had a close encounter with a dozen deer. We enjoyed the hike and the chance to be so near the mountains. As we […]
