Our destination is Abell Ranch, a 1,500-acre slice of trout heaven on Colorado's South Platte River with former guide and fifth-generation Coloradan, Clint Packo, who just might have the coolest job around: running Abell, restoring trout streams, and brokering some of the West's most iconic ranches. Abell is known for its three miles of gin-clear water, rare solitude, and some of the best hopper fishing in the state. Along the way, we tackle big questions—like how do you design a trout stream? And who drops $38 million on a ranch…and actually makes it work?  Stick around to the end for a wild story involving a tarpon, a blacktip shark, and a few unexpected cartwheels.
