For some, it's the
most frustrating of pastimes filled with
tangled line, sharp hooks and complicated knots. For
others,
its unimaginable solitude that fuses Zen-like meditation
with the fluidity of rhythmic movement. No matter what
skill level you've achieved in the sport, the Four Corners
offers a multitude of rivers and creeks providing an
outlet
for each type of angler. Furthermore, the crystal summertime
waters of the Animas offer limitless access to any citydwelling
fly fisherman in need of a quick fix. So grab the rod
and reel, tie up a few flies, and head for the river
for a few
stress-relieving hours of trout and solitude.
