What is the best way to celebrate your fly fishing anniversary?
Go on a fishing trip of course!
And we went to RMNP – Rocky Mountain National Park.
We totally lucked out. Perfect weather. Fantastic fishing.
The best fishing companion – my hubby.
I couldn’t have asked for more.
While fishing those quiet bends I had a lot of time to reflect.
One thing I hope to be able to do in the next year, is take an Entomology class.
I really have no idea what 98% of the bugs in my box are called.
If it looks good I buy it or tie one up and put it in my box.
Simple right?
I think it frustrates Zach when he asks -
“What did you catch that fish on?” and I reply -
“I dunno, a green fuzzy thing with a parachute, size pinky fingernail.”
So yeah. That’s on my bucket list.


I was really surprised I caught all Brown trout – no Brookies this time.

Except I did catch this obligatory stick trout,
although I couldn’t determine it’s breed.

Fishilicious <3 product of the trip?
Shimazaki Dry Shake Spray
A couple of tips for this stuff:
It’s damn expensive – so don’t get crazy with the spray!
Try not to get it on your fingers- cuz it sticks!
Happy Fly Fishing Everyone!

Love the pics! Looks like fun!
Great report. I love RMNP. Will have to try that spray
Looks like it was a great one year anniversary trip with many more to come. Good luck with the entomology class. Sounds like a good time!
Wow, looks like a fun time. I need to try to fish the park
If I could convince my wife to go fly fishing for our anniversary, she would be even more of a winner!
I’m the same way I know the size but I’m like um it’s a dry fly looks like a bug yeah that bug the one with the wings
RMNP was my first stream fly fishing destination as well. Six years ago. It’s still one of my favorite local places to go. I have since fished many locations that other anglers would kill to merely see, much less hook up with a trout there. My name is Justin and I’m a full blown fly angling addict. Gave away my last spinning rod about four years ago!
I’ve never seen dry shake spray before…thanks for the intro.
I’m with Morgan. One of these years, I love to get my wife to do this for our anniversary!
