After hours of climbing several mountain peaks, traversing rock slides, and clearing our way through the forest, we arrived at the section of river that is whispered about. It was incredible, and reminded me of how lucky we are to live Colorado. We caught plenty of fish on dry flies, including the legendary greenback cutthroat.
It is great fun to fish a stretch of water that is nearby and familiar. But every once in a while, it is important to fish someplace different.
Hey Mike! Great post, the pictures are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Howard! I appreciate you stopping by!
DeleteIt's always worth the hike. Even if it hurts. Looks like PERFECT water for a fiberglass fly rod.
ReplyDeleteYou are right! I'll take one next time...

ReplyDeleteBeautiful fish in an enviable place. What more could you ask for!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous!
ReplyDeleteYou can be proud to live in a country where you have still so much to explore and see. Exactly as you said, it's fun fishing places you know but a big part for me is leaving the commonly used paths and finding streams that don't get fished everyday. Colorado is probably one of the best areas for that. Would love to see more posts like this one, it's always nice to see what's out there and not yet an overcrowded fishing spot.
