A warm, early spring has allowed ample opportunities for a trout junkie like myself to get his fix. The season started with a spring break trip out to Northern Colorado in with my longtime pal Nate Thomas and his roommate Joe "Jereth" Renik. Our plan was to put a trip together that would serve as an alternative to the traditional tropical college spring break. So from March 16-24th, instead of getting blasted on the beach and yelling at women, we decided to share our beers under the Rocky Mountain skies.
The following photos offer a snapshot of our week-long venture...
