A Day on the Colorado with Kris Syverstad

Welcome aboard the Cutty Shark.

Join longtime Colorado angler Kris Syverstad for a full day of tournament fishing aboard his trusty drift boat and find out what more than 25 years of fishing Colorado waters can bring to the table.

Kris has spent decades learning Colorado's rivers, chasing trout, tying flies, and developing the kind of experience that only comes from putting in a lot of days on the water.

He's been casting lines since A River Runs Through It was still just a book and has been perfecting his fly-tying game since the 1980s.

In other words, Kris has been doing this for a while.
