One of the great things about being an editor, is I get the privilege of reading all articles first. The most recent is “Steelhead Can Change a Man,” by Scott Thompson, a great read. Scott gives us the ending chapter of his twelve year efforts to land a steelhead; a journey that I have yet to complete myself. As is typical of Scott’s writings there is no shortfall of humor that is artfully mixed with poignant philosophical views on an anglers life.
Please take time to read Scott’s latest article, I’ve no doubt that it will bring a smile to you face.
To say fly fishing is a passion for Dave is an understatement, he lives by the adage, �fly fishing isn�t a matter of life or death, it�s much more important than that.� Simply, if it�s a fish, then Dave�s willing to chase it on a fly. This includes making two or three trips a year out of state to places like Alaska, Canada, East and West Coasts to fly fish for salmon, northern pike and salt water species, such as redfish. The rest of the time Dave spends his time plying Colorado waters with a fly rod for everything the state has to offer such as bass, perch, crappie, bluegill, walleye, catfish, pike and yes even trout with a fly.
