The last time I was at Rocky Ford was probably six or so years ago, in late Spring, I believe, when other waters were out of shape from run-off. My buddy and I found a spot and were working a few (very) large fish. Another angler walked up and pretty much cast his line right over my partner's. We took offense; he took offense that we took offense and suggested that his close-quarter actions were the norm at RF. We split shortly after and never went back. I'm curious, was our encounter the RF exception or the rule? Members?
