First wild Trout in Colorado! Just because a river's got brooks, browns, cutthroats, and rainbows doesn't mean their easy to find. Tried every last thing in the box, from Spinners to Jerkbaits. Only the cricket worked. This guy put up a good fight, felt good to get a fish on after all this time! The challenging part is the most rewarding!
