Who we are
Jonathan Hill moved to Colorado in 2003. Two weeks after arriving, Jon casted his first fly rod and hasn’t looked back. There’s a fine line between obsession and passion and having a little bit of both is what drives him and most fly fishers.
Soon after catching the trout bug, Jon found his second passion in backpacking to high alpine lakes in the Colorado Rockies. Fly tying also became a hobby as well as moonlighting as a freelance writer with articles in The Drake, American Angler and Southwest Flyfishing magazines.
In 2015 Jon wanted to up his game and started down the rabbit hole of custom fly rod building.
Jon resides in Littleton, CO with his wife Karen and son Brennon.

The Fun We Have
Yellowfin Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii macdonaldi)
Courtesy of Wikipedia
The Yellowfin Cutthroat Trout is an extinct subspecies of the cutthroat trout.Until about 1903, greenback and yellowfin cutthroats survived together in Twin Lakes, the populations remaining isolated as both breeders and feeders. The end for the yellowfin cutthroat came soon after the introduction of the rainbow trout to Twin Lakes. The greenback population interbred with the rainbows, resulting in cutbows, but the yellowfin disappeared completely. The yellowfin is now extinct. (Or is it.)
