This June marks the kickoff of the Mile High 25—a Colorado-based tourney, where two-man teams target muskie, carp, bass, trout, suckers, splake and more across two days of fishing. The team submitting photo evidence of the most elaborate mixed-bag (from a list of 25 eligible gamefish) takes home the cash.
“Join Anglers All for the inaugural Mile High 25 Multi-Species Fly Fishing Tournament sponsored by Simms Fishing! This event will be the first of its kind in Colorado, and something we hope becomes a must-attend for serious fly anglers from all over the country for years to come.”
