I've fished this river, but not under these type conditions.

That's high and off color for sure. "Chocolate Milk", we call it. My brothers and I own little bit of land in that same county about 12 miles south of the Ark. There's some yuge browns in there.

I know the chocolate milk term and the description well. The water was swift where I fished a few years ago but the volume was much less, but I still had a time getting used to it. I didn't go down, but there was one spot where I waded across, I looked up and my two buddies both had their cameras ready to go, in case I went down and drifted off in the current, bouncing off rocks, etc. It wouldn't have been pretty, I told them.

My wife and I are both pretty home bound now with her 94 year old dad living with us; but at some point we plan to get free to travel, and some CO fly fishing is on my radar screen.
