Quote of the Week
"If I fished only to capture fish, my fishing trips would have ended long ago."
-Zane Grey
Trip We are Dreaming About
Silver Trout Lodge - Nathrop, CO
Back in April, we had a fantastic weekend getaway to Nathrop, CO (about 10 minutes south of Buena Vista) fishing the Arkansas River. We had amazing accommodations at the Silver Trout Lodge (Airbnb) that we can’t wait to get back to. If you are looking for a weekend getaway, this is definitely one to think about!
What We Are Watching
I Found the REAL Dream Stream! (Tenkara Fly Fishing)
Follow this wonderful journey into the backwoods and the discovery of a hidden gem of a trout stream. This is what’s possible when you are willing to hike a bit!
What We Are Reading
Awareness by Anthony De Mello
This is one of those books that reframes your brain on life. Anthony delivers applicable advice in a simple and straight forward fashion. If you need a gentle delivery, this isn’t the book for you. But if you always enjoyed that coach who told you how it was, this book will be right up your alley.
