Articles from the Cache

The majesty of the Tetons. The charm of an old Western town. Jackson Hole doesn't do anything half-assed whether it's views, charm, or recreational verve. Jackson is C7's home base, and the alpine adventures at your fingertips here just cannot be matched. Our C7 Roadshow team decided to pause our peripatetic ways for a little staycation this fall, and we reflected on some of our must-dos—a few "right-now" adventures for the spontaneous set following along and a few for next summer for those long-range planners in the mix.

Ready for an adventure this fall? If so, we have one helluva destination for you! Our C7 Roadshow team did the recon so that you don't have to! Arrive ready with our cache of Aspen must do's, must see's, and must go's. Whether you are looking for some "River Runs Through It" caliber fishing, fantastic fall colors, hiking stellar enough to write home about, or a never-let-you-down social scene, we have some suggestions for your own C7-tested and -approved Aspen cache!

It started with one (simple?) question, “If you only had one fly to fish for a day, what would it be?” A question originally floated to a wide audience by legendary angler Lee Wulff in a story he published in Outdoor Life . It's the fly fisher's version of "If you were stranded on a deserted island..." Let the daydreams and the arguments over the virtues of one fly over another begin. A decade or so later, in 1986, Jackson-based fly fishing guides Jack Dennis and Paul Bruun took that question and turned it into what has now become the Super Bowl of fly fishing. Or the longest-running, most hell-yes-I-want-to-be-a-part-of-that-event, fresh-water fishing competition in North America. For 38 years now, One Fly has been a weekend in September where some of the world's most passionate (crazy?) followers of the fly descend on Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to relish in the joys of competition, raise money for conservation, and build community around a shared passion.
