30 Hours with Captain Colorado
If I was a male model, that expression I have on my face would be "The Ponderer, by Noah." I've seen this look on my face in numerous pictures and usually I'm just posing. In this case though, the pose is real; I am honestly thinking, "What the hell just happened"?

CRISPI Colorado GTX Review
In this quick review of the CRISPI Colorado GTX we show you how the CRISPI Colorado compares to the Summit GTX and Nevada GTX.

Vote NO on the 2024 Colorado Hunting Ban (Proposition 127)!
This proposition leverages disinformation, the misleading and emotional use of the term "trophy hunting", and a general public that is largely uneducated about how wildlife management works and is regulated in Colorado, to ban hunting of one of our big game species and a lesser targeted furbearer, while circumventing the paid experts of our state wildlife agency, Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

Squirmy Wormy: How to tie the Strap-On Version
If you've ever fished a squirmy wormy fly (or sometimes simply called squirmies), you already know how effective they can be. Something about the undulating squirmy rubber material just drives trout and other fish species crazy. It's so effective that some purists won't be caught dead with them in their fly box. Not us. We use them fairly often, in quite a few water types and at different times of the year, and they consistently produce. When tied on a jig hook, they work great as a quick-to-...

An Improved Squirmy Wormy: How to Tie The Improved Strap-On Squirmy Wormy Fly Pattern
With the tremendous run-off we've had here in Colorado this year, we've been reaching into our boxes and grabbing for a heavy squirmy wormy pretty regularly.
That's given us an abnormally large amount of hours to fish our original Strap On Squirmy Worm Pattern. It's also allowed us to prove the original goal of being able to re-use squirmy material when the original material is damaged.
But it's also shown us a flaw in our original design that was ripe to be improved. Read on to see what we'...

Colorado Senate Bill 22-031(creating a hunting ban on mountain lion, bobcats and lynx) continues the concerning trend of managing wildlife resources and policy through direct legislation, while recklessly stripping Colorado Parks & Wildlife of their authority to regulate hunting and wildlife management through a science-based decision-making process, which includes long-standing processes for public input.
