We have about 1 week left to catch Salmon here. The swelling in my forearms finally went down from last week so I decided to hit it again. It was cold enough that only a select few were gettin after it.

They are about to meet their maker.

I still have to pinch myself every once in a while.

I snapped this pic while playin' this beeeeaatch

The fruits of my labor

Sorry for the head tilt

Idiot...if you want company on Wednesday...yell. I'm off until next Monday. I will be on water all week. Might go hit the Arkansas in Buena Vista this week some time too.

These shots were from the Dream Stream section of the South Platte. It's between Spinney and 11 Mile Reservoirs. You could say the move worked out rather swell.

Haven't fished in years, but the last trout I caught could eat that thing.

Just pitchin' you inlanders some shit. My cousin has been bugging me to gear up for Winter steelhead though!

'bout an hour and a half away.

I hate trout fishing...and I hate river fishing even more. I actually didn't mind standing up to my nuts in figid glacial runoff while it was SNOWING to TRY and catch a big ocean-going trout. THAT blew my mind...
