Rocky Mtn. Team USA Regional Qualifier

I am heading out today to fish the Rocky Mtn Regional in Basalt CO this weekend.  with 35 Competitors this should be a great comp as it is the biggest to date this year.  Ill be on the Roaring fork and the Frying Pan rivers as well as Ruedi Res.  I made a bomber trip over there last friday as I had never fished the fork before and let me tell you it did not disappoint!

These are only a few of the fish I caught. As you can see the water was high and muddy from the low altitude snow melt.  I fished with good friend Ben Mcgee and got some good intel on the waters for myself and my teammates. I will try to keep my blog updated throughout the comp, but I expect that I will post a full report when I return.
