"Vermillion" by Kitchen Sink Studios Inc.

Having spent many fine days on the Colorado River at Lee's Ferry, this film brought back many fine memories. Growing up in Arizona, I had the great fortune of spending many great days in this canyon. The waters majestic, the cliff walls truly breath taking, and the fish equally as nice.

Saturday on the Ditch

As the season winds down, we got the opportunity to spend yet another day on our favorite river admiring the changing colors of the cottonwoods, the amazing reds, golds and yellows of the aspens and the gin clear water that fall brings. As an added bonus, there was a fresh dusting of snow in the hills. Fall is in full swing.

Brilliant blue waters framed by golden willows and willing brown trout.
