From Dwyne

"I'll be rowing you during the Colorado Classic aboard Red October, my 14-foot Scadden McKenzie Drifter. You'll have the front fishing seat while I handle the rowing, positioning, and working to get you into the best water I can throughout the day.

We'll fish hard, make adjustments as conditions change, and do everything we can to put fish on the scorecard.

I'll also provide a hot lunch on the riverbank. Just bring your own drinks—there will be a cooler onboard for you."
