AKD and I went up for a quick half day to fish some area around Brainard Lakes in Indian Peaks Wilderness. AKD has two days on the river and has already out fished me both days! He scored 4 or 5 nice brookies on the day and lost zero flies. I had a brookie or two, and a really nice cutty and lost a fly or two. Fished with my dad’s 9ft 5 weight, which was difficult in the small alpine stream setting.

Went fly fishing after work with AKD. Weather held out and we scored some fish.

Way north today in the park. Logged another 12 miles, got some nice fish. Man was it a beautiful day, the bluebird sky was my motivation to press on. Blistered feet from hiking miles and miles in my Keens. I love the rockies.

Took Bones up fishing in the late afternoon, we scored some nice cutties. I was pretty stoked to have Bones on this trip, as no one wanted to fish anywhere near us! Thanks bro.
