I turned 75 the last of September. In June my daughter and SIL invited us to a week at their Crested Butte rental vacation home. They both like Fly fishing and have rented an area house for four to six weeks each of the last several summers. I have had a fly rod and reel for a few years and have caught a few pan fish with it, which is fun. BUT, it does not compare with the experience of fishing for trout. The very first one that I landed was a fat wild Brown Trout of about 16-17". WOW. I also caught some larger and smaller Rainbows. One exceptional Rainbow straightened my hook and another finally snapped the wee leader. The last thing I need at my age is another vice, but I am planning next summer to do it again somewhere.
