Fighting Cutthroats 2012

Fighting Cutthroats 2012

I went to Colorado College and one year, sometime in the 90's, a student suggested that the school mascot be changed from the Tigers to the Greenback Cutthroat trout.  The change didnt happen, but if it had, we may have been the Fighting Cutthroats.  The potential shift in mascots obviously has stuck in my mind and I have adopted the Fighting Cutthroats name as the title for my annual cutthroat video.  This is my third annual offering editting my footage of chasing cutthroats and cutbows around mountain streams and high country lakes of Colorado.  I didnt get as much time on the water this year or have any high country lake success, but I had a wonderful year with many great days out on the water.  I hope you enjoy.

Post Broncos Blues - Fly Tying

I still can't believe they lost.

I needed to focus my energy elsewhere, so I sat at the tying bench during the Sunday games.  Here's what I've been working on.

Thread Midges - Just tread, fine wire and peacock herl in various color combinations.

Well, here's to next year.  Hopefully, we get some good draft picks.

My First Blog Posting

This is my first time using a blog.  I wasn't sure if this was something I was going to start up, but one of my 2013 resolutions was to reach a broader audience for my videos and have decided to jump headlong into the fray.

Getting married last summer significantly cut into my fishing, video and editing time, so I didn't publish anywhere near as many videos as I had wanted.  This year, I am dedicating myself to get out more and provide video updates of my fishing adventures on a more regular basis.

I did recently complete and post a video from last summer based on footage collected during a weekend with friends in the Colorado mountains competing for bragging rights of most and biggest fish.  We call the weekend the "Day of the Brookie"  although we catch less and less brookies and this year none were caught at all.

I hope you enjoy my first post, my first blog posted video (the third annual Day of the Brookie) and that you tune back in throughout the year to see how my 2013 resolution of becoming a blogger is progressing.
