Hey o, I went and bought myself a license + 2nd rod stamp, as well as new ways to take fish. I got the rule book the parks and wildlife department puts out every year, as well as the actual regulation book in PDF, and researched what the legal methods of take in Colorado are. The only thing I knew I wanted and opted to not buy were jugs/noodles, mostly because amazon had a shit selection that I thought was expensive and I saw some good ole boy on YouTube make them with PVC + pool noodles.
