With year two of college around the corner, my dad and I decided to go up to Glenwood Springs and float the Roaring Fork, in hopes of pounding some brownies and ‘bows with some dry dropper setups.

After the three hour drive, we arrived in beautiful Glenwood Springs – but – mother nature clearly was having a bad day. With rain and slight wind, we knew the fish would be moving, and we crushed it. Whether this be with big foam hoppers, or huge caddis patterns, the fish were hitting dries all day long. The afternoon definitely seemed to be favor our droppers (flashback pheasant tails, prince nymphs, anatomays), and we managed to catch some great fish.

Always love floating the Roaring Fork and the Colorado – perfect way to end the summer.
