Colorado is a top destination for both fly fishing and hunting in the U.S. and for good reason.

We're heading there this year to explore some of the state's most iconic waters from the Colorado River to the South Platte, from Boulder and beyond.

In today's episode, you'll get a guided tour of these legendary fisheries along with some tips to help you plan your next Colorado trip more successfully and smoothly this season.

This is the Webfly Swing podcast where I show you the best places to travel to for fly fishing,

how to find the best resources and tools to prepare for that big trip,

and what you can do to give back to the fish species we all love.

John Hunt, founder of Mococcus and Fly Club, is back on the show to share his favorite spots for fishing and hunting across Colorado and New Mexico.

He's bringing his top 10 places to check out this year, along with insider tips on when to go DIY, when a guided trip makes sense, and how to stretch your budget without skimping on the experience.

We'll also get the details on what it's like to float the

sandwan right now and hear about the cozy lodging they have ready right now on the sand

wand just for you. Plus John shares his go-to gear picks, a few hidden gems you might not find

on a map, and the one trip he says every angler should make at least once here we go round

two john hunt from moccasen flycub dot com how you doing john good man thanks for having me back yeah

yeah this is uh i'm excited to get into this one today last time we did a wide range on your program

and kind of had your founder's

story about how you got into it. You had a grandfather there with a cool bamboo rod, which

sounds like you still have next to you there. Is it a bamboo rod, I guess first off? Was it a bamboo?

No, it's, I want to say, I think it's a Langley. It was a four-weight graphite Langley that's

the 40s or whatever. And I have a weird

superstition, but since like, I want to say, when was it? So 2018, I think is when my father

finally gave it to me. But every year I go try to put a fish on it somewhere. Oh, you do. So

you still use it. So my grandfather caught a fish on it. My dad caught fish on it. I've caught fish on it. My oldest has caught fish on it. My youngest still has to catch a fish on it, but he's only three. But yeah, every year I take it off the wall for like one day, go catch something on it, put it right back on the wall. And I, I feel like all the fish god karma should be okay at that
