Don: for an afternoon's pleasure, drive to Monticello, and turn west up on to the Forest ROad toward The Blue Mountains (Abajo Peak) follow the paved road until you come Monticello Lake/reservoir. Popular stocked lake. I have caught a lot of hatchery trout in this pond. Continue on the pavement to the turn where the pavement goes back to the north, and drops dramatically. Take the improved dirt road to the left instead. In another mile or tow you will come to Foy Lake . There will be little Brooks and Rainbows rising. This lake is quite rich in nutrition for the fish. My best success was with an Adams fished behind a casting bubble. I used the bubble because that was the only way I could reach the far side where the bigger fish always hang. I have spent a few hours at this lake. When you return, don't go back through Monticello. Take the paved road down to the north. Scenic drive. It will test your brakes on some of the switchbacks. At the bottom, turn left. This paved road will take you to some more very scenic areas, including the famed "Newspaper Rock" This is a native American petroglyph panel like none others. Farther down you will come to the Redd ranches, and then on to some spectacular overlook vistas of the Grand Canyon, White Rim, Canyonlands, etc. It's all quite breathtaking territory. Enjoy.

I might like to find a nice lake somewhere that's not under a ton of fishing pressure, if that's possible. I passed the Telluride turn-off, and it looked like real nice country.

I could put you on to some "local" fishing in that area, but the best fishing from there is into Colorado. The Rivers: Dolores, Uncompaghre, and San Miguel. All worthy trout streams. A trip to Telluride is worth the drive. Several fly shops in Telluride. Larry Johnson Springville, Utah >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/04/05 9:16 AM >>> I'm still around, too, lurking. Just working a lot in the field (lots of travel-time), then a ton of house chores and misc. personal stuff to do around the house when I get in. Tying some flies for saltwater buddies, and for upcoming trips to Baja and Costa Rica next Jan. Got 2 new fly designs I have to 'field test'. Work, work, work. A hi-jacking of one of my pc's, and a re-format of another, and a purchase of a new note-book has taken time from all the other things I have to get done. Then I had to buy a scanner for this contract and learn how to use it. It comes in handy, though. Weather here in Casper has been egg on the face of the global warming theorists. Average temp. has probably been in the low 50's, with nights down in the 30's, days in the 50-70's. It is starting to warm up a little. I tried to sit out to drink my coffee this morning, just too chilly to enjoy it. We had a lot of rain over the holiday weekend- hope it helps the drought situation a little. I'll be able to post more after I put on the training seminar on Monday. Hopefully get some time to fish, too. Jimi- I haven't forgotten about you and the little chore I have for you. I'll get to it next week. My idea has expanded a little, and I need to make you some drawings of the 3 designs I want. Bugg's joke for the day... How can you tell you're in a Louisiana zoo? Next to each animal description plaque is another with a recipe.
