Fishing in Colorado

What a great summer. We took the RV and heading west like we’ve done the last few years to see family and to fish for some brown or

The Arkansas outside Buena Vista, CO.

rainbow trout in Colorado.  This year the state had record snowfall and spring rains that made the rivers run wild.  Everything was high. I fished the Yampa in Steamboat, Stagecoach Reservoir, Blue River, Jefferson Lake, Michigan Creek and numerous spots along the Arkansas River.  Not the best picture of me here, but the Arkansas flies by behind me. Even though the water ran at record speed and high, I still had a ball getting my line wet.

Key West Seafood Festival January 15, 2011

Last year we came to the Florida Keys and just exhibited at art shows, which I will do again in 2011. However, after attending seafood festivals and nautical markets, we decided to bring the fishing jewelry too.

Our first show in 2011 will be the Key West Seafood Festival this Saturday in Bayview Park (right off Truman Avenue, Highway 1). Come on down to what I hope will be a great party.
