Hello, I just wanted to shoot you over some pictures of my trip to the North Fork Ranch near Bailey, Colorado. I wasn’t sure if you all would be interested in seeing some pictures of some fish from the area but the 1st pic looks pretty amazing, especially after it is blown up!
Of course we are interested! Especially since we recently moved the Flyfishmagazine compound West. Email us and Let us know if you're "catchin' any".
