Flyathlon

There are a lot of serious problems in this world, but the solutions don’t always have to be serious. Fly-fisherman and trail-runner Andrew Todd channeled his concern for Colorado’s native trout and the watersheds that support them into the creation of a joyful, irreverent, event: The Flyathlon.

The rules:

1. Run 10-miles
2. Catch a fish
3. Don’t be a jack-donkey
4. No fish in your Camelbak that you brought from somewhere else.

Today, we join producer Cordelia Zars–and a group of Flyathletes–on Gunnison, Colorado’s Lake Fork River.
