The Ultimate Watch

Justin Adventure, Gear, Gear Reviews December 10, 2016December 10, 2016

Hey. Do you know what time it is? I know I do!

I also know which direction is north, current barometric pressure, altitude, temperature, and tide and moon data.

Do I really need all of these data points? Of course not. At least not on a normal day. If I’m out enjoying the great outdoors in pursuit of wild trout, all of this data might be a little more useful. read more

There are tons of publicly accessible lakes, rivers, streams and creeks all over the state of Colorado which are full of fish. And there’s a lot of water to fish too, be it right around the corner from your house or office, or a short drive. You might even hike a bit to get away from the crowds.

For years I only fished public water. read more
