I had a brief but fulfilling trip out to Frisco, CO (near Breckenridge) to visit with Zeke Hersh, my brother-in-law yesterday (9/4).  Although he was tied up most of the day (since it was a work day) - he did manage to teach me how to fly fish and help me land my first fish (brown trout) in short order.  We went to a nearby river in Frisco and after he showed me some of the mechanics of casting, mending and hooking - I gave it a shot and within 10-15 minutes I landed a small Brown Trout.  It was definitely a great experience - much different from regular fishing because of the skill/art involved.  I'm definitely going to invest in a rod/reel and fly fish again when I get back to the Bay Area.  Big thanks again to Zeke!
