I know this is a SoCal forum and this is a Colorado trip, but I am from SoCal and I think people would appreciate this report anyways. I just got back from visiting my friend in Denver. While we were up there, he took us fishing to some really beautiful spots. There was a lot of excitement. My wife continued her success, as she caught 3 trout (1 rainbow and 2 brookies). I lost my count total after 15, half were brookies and the other half were rainbow. I farmed 5. I was hoping for the Colorado Grand Slam (Rainbow, Brook, Cutthroat, and Brown), but I'll settle for the double. We hit up Lake Dillon in Summit County, and a really cool river that emptied into it. We also fished a really productive gulch that produced the first brooks I've ever caught. The weather was wierd too. It was sunny for a bit, then it started raining, and within 5 minutes of the onset of the rain, it got really windy and started to snow on us. It was awesome fishing in the snow. There was a really cool snake we ran into, as well as some elk that were drinking nearby (no pic). Again, I know this is a Colorado trip, but I just want to share and contribute for all the really cool threads I've read from other readers. Here are the pics, pretty much in order.
