Relocating

Big changes are looming on the horizon.  I just accepted a job in Colorado and will be moving that way soon...as in soon enough to start the new school year.  Things have been moving pretty fast and will continue to be that way.  I'm looking forward to the possibilities for career advancement and working with some new people, but naturally am also interested in learning about some new spots to fish.  My favorite parts of Colorado (so far anyway) are located far from where I will be, so I probably won't be fishing there as much as I might like.  Teaching in a new school will keep me busy as will the next few weeks of transition.

With that in mind, please forgive me if the updates and fishing stories come with less frequency for the next few months.  I want to focus on the new job which means some things like this blog might temporarily be put on hold.  I will still check in at least some though and intend to post trip reports and other news.

To all my Tennessee friends, thanks for making my fishing experiences awesome!  I will miss all the good times, but will be returning to visit, hopefully often, and will be doing at least a little fishing then.  The Smokies will always be the best!!!

In the meantime, I look forward to meeting new people and making new friends in the sport in Colorado.  Hopefully I can find some people willing to show me around and put up with a new guy...

  1. You won't find any shortage of fishing friends in Colorado. Right off the top of my head, I can think of at least 6 who would be willing to drag you, kicking and screaming, to some of the best streams around. Holler if you need a list.

  10. Good luck! Your posts on the smokies definitely help get me through these long Texas summers between trout fishing trips. Can't wait for the Colorado posts to start coming in. You're gonna be missed on the little river outfitters message boards as well! Thanks David, for keeping us inspired!

    1. Gerald, I hope to get some fishing under my belt and report on them soon but may be too busy for a while. I'll still hang out on the LRO board, but will just have to post in the out of state report section I guess!

  11. I am a lover of the nature and the natural beauty. The post is full of natural scenes and fishes. I am fond of fishing specially Carp fishing. I always says that Carp fishing gives us enjoyment and nutrition simultaneously. Thanks for such a nice post.
