About
Colorado is a great place to fish for trout.
My name is Jackie Hunter and I’ve always been very fond the great outdoors. When I was a child my mother called me a “river rat” because I would spend hours down at the river bottom just sitting in a blind watching the wildlife. As a child, I had never eaten trout because my mother had never cooked it. She always talked about fish as being a big pain and even dangerous to eat because of all the bones.
I didn’t become a fan of trout until one day when I ordered it in a restaurant. The trout was brought to me with the head still attached, its eyes glaring up at me, which freaked me out. However, I remained cool and calm while the waitress proceeded to de-bone it as I watched. She made a cut along the side of the trout and pulled the tail up, lifting out the bones in one fell swoop, along with the head and those glaring eyes. I was eternally grateful to her for that because I had no idea how to go about eating that fish. It was delicious, and I had no trouble with any bones. I impressed my date at being very sophisticated, and my fears of choking on a fish bone were overcome. It was an experience I will never forget.
Armed with the knowledge of how to eat a trout, I became a trout lover, and would cook trout at home, but I had never actually gone fishing for trout. So I decided I really wanted to learn. The problem I had was getting started. I quickly became lost in a sea of information overload and bad advice about how to fish and how to catch trout in particular.
Here on my website, you’ll find a number of resources to help you learn more about how to fish for trout and how to get started catching them in the quickest possible way.
I made this website for the person who likes to fish and would like to learn how to fish for trout in particular. This site is both for a beginner and the advanced fly fisherman who wants to bring home the biggest fish or catch a trophy fish.
The book I am recommending on this site will teach you the secrets about how to fly fish for the big ones and catch fish when the best of the fly fisherman can’t. You can just throw the small ones back and wait for the big fish. These techniques are revolutionary and a bit untraditional, and if you are a fly fisherman already you are not going to believe this!
This book “Fly fishing for trout, a quiet Revolution” does not go into all the things that beginners need to know, because the book assumes the reader is already a fly fisherman and knows the basics of the sport.
For the beginner, there are articles about what you need to start fishing as soon as possible. I will also be answering questions about fly fishing in particular. Just click on the “questions” link and send me your question.
