In this episode we WadeOutThere with Jon Messinger, from Denver, Colorado.  Jon grew up on a ranch in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, where time on the river was part of everyday childhood play. 

He fell in love with fishing the small streams around his home, and targeting hard to reach trout he found on the San Juan River.  Eventually, Jon moved to Bozeman where he began creating music and continued to fly fish.  Now, Jon is back in Colorado where he guides for Colorado Trout Hunters. 

We discuss techniques for nymphing deep pools, experimentation on the river, and fishing with friends when you’re the only one not catching fish.
