Colorado is synonymous with beer and micro breweries, and Pagosa Springs, Colorado, is no exception.

Pagosa Brewing Co., like all things Pagosa, should be part of your plans for a fly fishing adventure in Pagosa. Located at 118 N. Pagosa Bl., Pagosa Brewing has a landmark trailer outside, and beer garden where you will find locals sitting, talking, eating and partaking of the many different beers they have for the true connoisseur of micro brewed beer. Depending on the day, it could be a dark, wheat or any number of other variants.

Also, not to be misunderestimated, they have free wi-fi access. That’s something you want to pursue and attach yourself to if you have the need to “get out” to the world. Otherwise, turn all electronic devices off, put your trays and setbacks in the upright position, and forget about it.

Don’t stop at the liquor store next to the grocery store, and don’t bother with the grocery store(s). Just go straight to the brewery, walk right in and get yourself a growler of whatever happens to be the flavor. They run about 16-dollars, but just like the best of things in life – they give, OK sell, refills! My empty awaits the next ride to Pagosa, and I will loan it to you if you promise to bring it back. Take me along, and you can keep it.

Cheers from Pagosa Brewing Co. in Pagosa Springs, Colorado.

• #flyfishing Looking for topwater shallow action to heat up again as temperatures here reach 87 today. Records could fall? #
• #flyfishing Back in Denton after fishing part of the Colorado River and Brushy Creek north of Austin. San Gabriel River isn't. #

I hope you are enjoying the start of a few more posts on Pagosa Springs, Colorado, and some other things yet to be revealed.

Right now, I am on the move in the Austin area, working on a story on Living Waters Fly Shop on location, and fishing some of the waters in that area.

Be sure to check all of this week’s posts, and follow me on twitter and twitpic to see if there is any water found to be fishy in the Austin, Texas, area.
