Patrick,
It was great meeting up with you and seeing you land fish on a fly rod. Congrats on the big fish of the trip as well. Thanks for the kind words and I look forward to fishing again with you in the future.

Ben

I am definitely hooked! It was awesome to watch you tie bugs at night. Hope to catch up with you again someday.

Thanks Iain. It certainly was a great way to spend the weekend. The canyon was awe-inspiring to say the least and I was grateful to be a part of a solid group of guys. Thanks for the kind words on the photos.

Great write-up, and your pictures are beautiful–they really evoke the grandeur of both the place and the fish. It looks like you had a heck of a good first trip up at the Ferry–good fishing and good company, it doesn’t get much better than that!

Iain

Thanks for the kind words Matt. There is something special about fishing in those high-walled canyons. Add it to your list for sure.

Thanks Kirk. There are a couple of creeks that run through red rock canyons, but The Colorado is really the most impressive. Oak Creek in Sedona is a pretty one to fish too.

Thanks Mike. The fish sure were colorful. The whole canyon was pretty cool with the red rock, green water, and blue sky. It really was something to behold.

It really is a beautiful canyon. The Grand Canyon is not far and the surrounding country is pretty barren and rugged. Beautiful for sure.

How many large cold-water rivers run through beautiful redrock canyons?
