The Hopper Juan in the Sunday Denver Post
Browsing thru the Sunday Denver Post this morning I get to the outdoor section and see this nice little article on the upcoming shows this next weekend. What really caught my eye was the big picture right dab in the middle of The Hopper Juan. Juan and I got to know each other about 4 years ago at the West Denver TU, he tracked me down and wanted to trade hopper patterns. Juan and I where both picked up by Montana Fly Co. the same year. This was really cool to see, Juan is one of the good guys in this industry.
