Who brings their vexilar and jigging rods on a family ski vacation? This guy!!
Spent a week in Colorado and got a chance to sneak out to the Dillon Reservoir in summit county which is one of two places in the lower 48 that has char. Unfortunately didn't get a monster but did manage a smaller one as well as some trout. Also dropped an estimated 8-10 lb brown on 3# line. Fought him to the hole twice and looked me right in the eye and popped me off. DAMN!!
