SUMMARY:
Hello All,
Recently, I went fishing with one of my subscribers that lives on the Western Slope in a city called Grand Junction. We had never met in person until that day we fished; we had spoken over social media and I figured why not?!?. He wound up being a really cool kid and we had a blast fishing! We landed into Brook Trout, Splake, and Rainbow Trout that day (he caught the splake).
