Arkansas River Fishing with Dean

It was a fine day in Colorado on the Arkansas River with longtime friend and expert angler, Dean Lippold.  For more details see his blog: http://flyfisherthoughts.blogspot.com/  See the April 22, 2012 entry.

I enjoyed myself immensely, which viewed objectively might be puzzling.  My rusty, almost non-existent fishing skills were on full display.  I took a brief swim within moments of entering the river.  My hands, where I neglected to slather sunscreen, are peeling like an onion.  The stream side vegetation took a thrashing from my low back casts.  I did land a lovely brown, and lost several others.  But anyone that loves being outdoors anywhere near as much as I do knows that what passes for my soul is filled to the brim.

Thanks, Dean.
