My cousin is a fantastic runner and currently runs on the Navy Cross Country team. Their team has been doing some altitude training in Flagstaff, and we started talking about getting out and doing some fishing here in AZ. On Saturday, he and I, along with 5 other members of the team ran up to the walk in portion of Lees Ferry to see if we could tempt the rainbow trout that reside there.
Long story short, the fishing was pretty slow, but I had a good time showing the guys the water and trying to teach them what little I know about fishing big water like the Colorado River. Lees Ferry is a very striking location and I never get sick of spending time up in that part of the state.

A great place for fly fishing, rainbow trout have to be very strong in those waters, greetings!
Thanks Mario.
Awesome! Great photos!
Thanks Kyle. It’s a special piece of water for sure.

Ben,
Great job and go Navy! Just missed you by a day. Came through on Sunday from a week long backpacking trip in Utah. By the way, the furled leaders worked fantastic in the alpine lakes of Utah.
Peace
Bill
Thats great to hear about the furled leaders Bill. Thanks so much for your order and support. Hope you had a good time in Utah.

Beautiful vistas – even if the fish weren’t as plentiful, I’d be staring at the cliffs as much as the water.
Thanks 33. It sure is pretty up that way.
