Over the weekend I made it out west to Colorado for my cousins bachelor party, and had the chance to fish some good water with some great guys. My cousin Chase and I have remained as close as brothers for as long as I could remember, and in two weeks he is tying the knot with his beautiful fiance in Colorado, where he has lived for the last 8 years. When word of the bachelor party started getting around I knew my cousin was going to want some fishing in the mix. So, Friday morning a group of us headed up to Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park to fish the Big Thompson River. Fishing 8 guys on any river let alone the upper Big T can be a circus. Amazingly, with all 8 of us moving together taking turns at each run or pool we all were very pleased with enjoying each others company while catching fish, and catch fish we did! Everyone had at least a couple shots at fish, and most I would say put a few in the net. Fish were not particularly picky either. Beetles, ants, stimulators, or anything that floats put in a likely spot would usually get a response. No huge fish, but with a mountain backdrop you won’t find me complaining. Here’s a visual.
