Don
Best
Colorado
I grew up in the Denver Colorado area in the 1970's driving to the mountains to fish all my life. I began fishing at the age of three. In 1997 I had an opportunity to move to Leadville CO to work and jumped at the chance
I started my fly tying about thirty years ago with my father and now do it mostly as a hobby, over the years I have sold some of my flies to people.
Living in the Colorado mountains allows me to fish some of the best trout waters in the world and I take full advantage as much as possible! I fish twelve months a year (even in the cold Leadville winters!) for Rainbows, Brookies, Northern Pike and Kokanees.
