My apologies to those of you on multiple lists - you'll get this multiple times. a.
We just got back after a week in bee-yoo-tiful Colorado. We spent most of the time sight-seeing in the gorgeous Rockies. Saw lots of wildlife. Not all of it was in the wilderness. There were some pretty wild looking things roaming the streets of Estes Park over the weekend. On the other hand, there were some truly wild animials right in town. We were greeted into Estes Park by a herd of about 30 cow elk with about 20 calves. They were grazing nearly downtown (on the grounds of the fire station). Although we didn't see any, the local paper was talking about the many problems they were having with about 10 black bears roaming the town. We got in one fantastic day of fishing on the Big Thompson below the canyon. Great fishing. Great catching, too. Unfortunately (for my ego), my wife caught the biggest one (19" rainbow). We mostly caught rainbows but we each caught a couple of 14-16" browns. She also hooked into one that was guess-timated to be 5-8 lb., but it decided to go a different direction and snapped the 7-lb test flourocarbon leader. A stonefly imitation was the killer fly, even though the stonefly hatch had pretty well ended the week before. ALL fish were on a heavily weighted stonefly with sili-legs. Now if I can just learn to tie them before my next trip out there. a. -- Allan Fish Greenwood, IN [email protected] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
