In this video I venture out to Euro Nymph (tight line nymph, Czech nymph – whatever the kids are calling it nowadays) among my preferred Colorado freestone rivers. It’s late February however we had some warm weather condition that broke the huge ice up. It wasn’t simple fishing as it seldom ever remains in the winter season in the Colorado Mountain and this particular canyon, however the fish appeared and we came across a terrific indication that this river is recuperating from a difficult last couple years.
