Best year fishing -- 450 fish hooked and released in 2001 -- one year before the disastrous Hayman Fire that destroyed 135,000 acres of forest and streamside vegetation.

Largest fish ever landed -- 28 or 29 inch 8 lb, Colorado Rainbow in the North Fork of South Platte river April 30, 2005 on the North Fork Ranch.

Most fish caught and released in one day -- 75 on Bear Creek in only 4 hours using same two flies.

    We may want to wait until the dollar bottoms - as the exchange rate makes these Euro hooks expensive. Until then I'll get the sizes needed (if they pan out) and make do. KB

    I'm trying to get some samples to fiddle with on the hooks, hopefully we'll get a feel for the quality shortly. In the meantime I'm largely using the Togen hooks as they're inexpensive and well made, I have no issues with them after switching this season.

    Fortunately I don't have to work in the flame, I have to work in support of those that do - not much heroism in that respect, but the hours are long and vicious. It appears we'll be burning most of the summer, as there's still about 50 fires that don't have humans on them yet.
