Guiding High-Country Creeks Around Lake City

The high-country creeks around Lake City are great places to take beginner fly fishermen and experts who feel like catching a bunch of smaller fish.  The views up here are hard to beat.

Rainbow trout at Big Blue Creek


The fish in the high country aren't always the biggest, but watching them crush dry flies never gets old.

Guiding on Big Blue

Family came up to Lake City, so my uncle and I took everyone out to Big Blue to teach them to fly fish.

Interesting choice of wading shoes and socks.  Not sure if they are better pulled up or folded down like this.

Hamsa's first fish on the fly!

Another brook trout--nice first day!
