Cheesman Canyon podcast

Today, my family and I decided to drive a few hours to the Cheesman Canyon to hike in and fish the South Platte River. My step-son Kollin (13) is really getting into flyfishing and it is time he got a chance at some big fish. While catching a few fish this day, I discuss a variety of topics including kids fishing, the four plights of the South Platte River, my perfect casting(!), my on-air hat idea, and why GFF has over-glorified the fishing gods. After relaxing streamside with a cup of hot cocoa, we decided to walk out of the canyon and hit a local establishment in Castle Rock, CO to listen to a good friends band play. I include a special number from The Front Street Blues Band at the end of the podcast.

I forgot to mention ...

I forgot to mention in the podcast that the real name for "RS2" is "Rim's Semblence 2". Rim Chung named it such since the fly didn't resemble an actual insect but merely a resemblance of one. Just a clarifying note to some of my discussions in the podcast...

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
