All day today, extremely fit people have been popping into our conference room - they are all here to run in tomorrow's Aspen Valley Marathon. The full marathon route begins at Wagner Park (just a few blocks from Aspen Square) at 6am. The half-marathon route takes off from the WJ Ranch in Woody Creek at at 7:30am, followed by a 5K start at 10:30 at Basalt's Lion's Park. All routes are basically downhill, so race times tend to be fast. The Aspen Valley Marathon is a Boston Marathon qualifier, with an elevation drop of more than 1,400 feet over the course, past scenic mountain views and breathtaking vistas. With multiple race lengths, this is a great way to get involved with a very special event. Most of us who are involved with recreational fishing know what a reel is and the basics of what it does.

Today we are going to take a look at some of the most popular and widely used types of fishing reels available to the angler, as well as what makes each the best tool for a particular type of angler or style of fishing.
