The next great fishin’ hole lands Dave and Dusty in Beautiful Colorado, right next to the relaxing town of Pagosa Springs, located in the Rocky Mountains. Dave and Dusty like to fly fish for monster Rainbow Trout in the San Juan River.
With Dusty running the banks and Dave wadding in the water with his waders, Dave fly fishes with what has become to be known as the San Juan drifting worm with a barbless hook. The San Juan River has an abundance of red worms and is a favorite treat for the enormous Rainbow Trout that live in this river. These trout are fun to catch, however to preserve the population of these monsters, once caught Dave and Dusty then release the unharmed Rainbow Trout back into the river to be enjoyed by another angler in the future.

Now Dave and Dusty find themselves way up north, north to Alaska. Alaska is known as the Final Frontier and has an abundance of salmon species. Dave and Dusty are longing to reel in a monster King Salmon. While having to share the banks of the Kenai River with gigantic Brown Bears, Dave and Dusty use a silver and salmon egg colored spoon lure in order to entice a King.
At last there was a strike, a 30 second fight, and behold a salmon. Not a King Salmon though, instead his smaller sibling, a Pink Salmon. “Probably a good thing”, Dusty thought, a King Salmon would have pulled Dave right into the Kenai.
