Team 57 goes to Colorado!
Okay, maybe only one T57 member....but hey, we got to represent however we can!!
So far this summer has been pretty fishy for me. Did a little high Sierras troutin' with the gang, a little deep blue tuna action, some cattin' with the Irviners, and now back to my first love: high country trouting!
Here's a few pics of the "haps" so far out here in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. To date, I've pretty much limited myself to the local lakes (in particular Hatcher lake where out house is located) as my father has me doing all sorts of wacky house projects.
The highlight so far has been watching the old man catch the nice trout, while I can't seem to catch anything really worthy of a T57 photo op. In particular, we went up to a local reservoir, got caught in a nice storm, and as soon as the rain/lightning dies down, we got lucky (I really should say my Dad got lucky) and caught what we joked was a "sampler platter" of trout: 1 koke, 1 bow, and 1 speckled.
Next week, with house projects finished, I promise some better pics, and hopefully a river cuttie or two, a kamloop (God willing) and perhaps a better picture of a koke.
Here's the pics, and some wildlife I've been running across. Until then, see you all at LEGENDS II !!!!
(Note the old school Mepps my Dad still pitches....maybe I should take notes since he's been doing all the noteworthy catching so far!!)
Irvine & SARL really ought to order some triploided kokes....best tasting fish around!!
This guy lives in the canyon below our house, and this is probbly the first time I've been able to get a somewhat good pic of him (or her??). Really spooky critter, and always on the lookout.
No lack of these in the neighborhood. Come fall season, they suddenly dissapear until hunting season is over. The mystery of mother nature....
