I am actually quite good at catching with a fly rod. Catch every branch in every overhanging bush within a mile of the riverbank. We have many local fly only fishermen. One has written for several magazines. I can be fishing for an hour using lures without many bites and Bob will show up with his fly rod and start pulling in fish where I swore there were none. There is a local rancher between Salida and Buena Vista who's ranch has the Arkansas River running through it. The rancher has always allowed fishermen on his ranch and seldom have I ever seen anyone fishing on his land. If interested, I can PM you his name.
