Gear talk with , the Middle Fork Net.

The Fishpond Middle Fork has earned its place as one of our favorite all-around nets. Lightweight, durable, and built with a fish-friendly rubber basket, it’s equally at home on small streams, drift boat days, and everything in between
Constructed from carbon fiber and fiberglass, the Middle Fork keeps weight to a minimum without sacrificing strength. The longer handle provides extra reach when you need it, while the clear rubber net helps protect fish and makes for quick, easy releases.

Stop by the shop and check out one of our favorite nets for anglers who spend a lot of days on the water.

Runoff is done.

An early, below-average runoff this year means the fishing is ahead of schedule, and just about every resource is fishing well right now. Rivers are clear, the high country is open, and trout are feeding hard.

Cool spring temperatures combined with excellent water clarity have created a short but special post-runoff window. The best part? Runoff never really became an issue this season. We’ve been able to fish right through it, and conditions continue to improve by the day.

If you’ve been waiting for the green light, this is it.

Gear talk with , the Animas Reel

The Ross Animas has become a go-to reel for anglers looking for a dependable, fully machined reel that can handle everything from technical trout fishing to throwing streamers on big western rivers. Featuring an ultra-large arbor for fast line pickup, a smooth composite drag system, and Ross’ signature Colorado mountain detailing, it’s built to fish and last for years.

Stop by the shop and check out one of our favorite reels made right here on the Western Slope.
