Sounds very cool, summit. Have any of you ever been to the arches near GJ?
If you can ever get onto Boxwood Gulch or Long Meadow you might hook a Palomino. It's normal to catch four species, and a five spot isn't unheard of either, and six is possible. I was there last fall and caught mostly browns and rainbows, but they also have cutters, cut-bow's, Brookie's, and Palomino or golden trout. It's glorious.Sitting here pretty much the same as I was on my last post. (Baked) Had a great trip on Saturday. Started slow but ended great on a small stream above Bailey. Cannarado has so many connections, if one doesn't work we just move to another. Beginning to think his family owns Colorado. This was the prize of the day.
I caught this 24" rainbow on a 3wt rod using 6x tippet using a #22 pink midge.
I fish boxwood about once a year. Stated there just after the owner first started letting anglers fish on his property about 20 years ago. Was fishing on a lake next to the river last weekend....river looked like chocolate milk. Guys were still fishing there though...not me, I will wait for it to calm down and clear up a bit.If you can ever get onto Boxwood Gulch or Long Meadow you might hook a Palomino.

I imagine more info can be seen on boxwoodgulch dot com.
I will wait it out, or at least go high. Gotta take a quick run up the hill later this week. Won't even take my rods with me. That way there is no temptation to even try.gunna hit it briefly, chocolate duck butter
Have you ever floated the Platte at Grey's Reef outside Alcova, WY? That's our yearly May or June trip. We used to go fishing in Canada when the price was $750 for a week and all you had to do is charter a plane to Yellowknife and take a float plane in. Now the same week-long trip is getting close to $5,000. No thanks, I'll keep paying $400 per boat thankyouverymuch.Stone flys are starting in on the river. Saw a few yesterday, water running at 350 and is clear thru the gorge. Talked to a guide who said they were thick as shit up river a ways....
Should be perfect timing for my guided 3 day float coming up next month.
Back recovering, will be all ready.
Love my new bank robber rod... Maybe hit it Friday.....
