On the Road Again Day 6 | Colorado Brook trout
We're heading south into the mountains this morning, to spend the day fly fishing in a private fishery for brook trout. I'm not sure when the owners dammed a stream and formed a series of five ponds, one below the other, with the stream linking them. The wild brookies love it there, and spawn reliably each fall. To keep the ponds from getting overcrowded, the owner invites friends to fish there with one stipulation: you keep what you catch.
It's a beautiful spot, isolated and wild, and we were pretty excited to be invited there. Dee tossed in worms on a hook, and tossed back the small fish he caught. Dave and I tossed flies, moving from pond to pond when the fish got shy. One of the ranch dogs, a young male McNab, kept us company all day long.
We shared our fish with Dee's neighbors, and tomorrow we'll have a fish feed with the family.
