Fishing Western Colorado:
- This month we will be hearing from Brian Snow, a member of Deep Creek
- Flyfishers. Brian has been fishing Western Coloado for seveal years
now.
- Brian Snow credits snake catching in the tumbleweed fields around
- Irvine as what sparked his love for the outdoors and for “chasing”
stuff.
- Born in Denver, Colorado, his family moved to Irvine when he was 6
years
- old. “I didn’t do much fishing growing up because my Dad does not like
to
- fish-but we went to Colorado for a week each summer and there I would
fish
- with my Grandpa and that’s all it took.” “Grandpa was a fly-fisherman
and
- loved the Frying Pan and Trappers lake. “ Speckled wings at Trappers
and the
- Willow flies on the Frying Pan he would always talk about.”
- Fishing with his Grandpa was special as Colorado seemed such a foreign
- place. Even though these early adventures were mostly with worms, he
- learned where trout lived and was able to watch his Grandpa with this
- “amazing grace-like use of a magic wand” that forever imprinted on his
mind
- that this was the way to fish.
- It was a baseball scholarship to Colorado State that brought him back
- to Colorado and to the meeting of his future wife Tannah. She happened
to
- come from a fly-fishing family and it was them who introduced Brian to
the
- treasures of the western side of the state.
- Today he is a full fledged addict living in Lake Arrowhead and fishing
- all over the San Bernardino mountains, the sierras, most of the
western
- states at one time or another, and he just made his fifth trip to
Alaska
- this summer. Brian is a teacher who has used the Trout In the
Classroom
- program the last 8 years, and belongs to the FRVC as well as The Deep
Creek
- Fly-fishers for approximately 9 years. He lives with his wife Tannah,
his 6
- year old daughter Taylor, and his 3 month old son Brady.
