Sunday's Featured Fly- Greg Garcia's - "Rojo Midge"

With all the rains and floods in the Denver area, we decided to stay in town and keep out off the roads but run some errands for the upcoming week. One of the stops was to visit my good friend Greg Garcia, world renowned flytyer, flycaster and retailer at Anglers All. Always nice to see Greg as he usually finds a way to reduce my wallet by a few hundred dollars. 

In honor of the master, I thought I would feature his famous Rojo Midge. A tremendous fly for any of the Colorado rivers and lakes. If you do not have a row of these in your flybox, SHAME on you.

Twist up a few, if not, go in and see Greg at Anglers All, tell him Floatfisher sent you in,

he will give you something free.
