Nice pictures!

I never renewed it after the 12 months expired. I have a 5 month old so it's hard to fish right now. Eventually I'll get back on the water.

Because you’re strictly a catch and release guy, or because they’re not actually that great to eat, as I’ve heard is true?

I’m always seeing some cool picture in outdoor magazines and on websites of people doing the foil packet or cast iron thing with some lemon, butter and fresh herbs or whatever, and it looks amazing… but yeah I’ve heard they’re usually not the best eating

Not there.

Thinking about t, I don't think I've done a shore lunch with a catch in a long time. Maybe 7-9 years?

It's because browns and quality brown fisheries are becoming more and more rare. I'm all for eating the stocker put-and-take 12 inch rainbows, but I really hate to see wild trout (or at least semi-wild) get taken from the stream.

I know people obey the legal limits and whatnot, but even those limits are often too high to maintain a quality river.

Water's low everywhere out West.

We got lucky, I think, because the Gunn was running enough water t allow fish to still take cover beneath the undercuts, and they must've been pretty hungry, because there wasn't much of a salmonfly hatch this year, and the fish were skinnier than usual. So they were shallow and aggressive.

But our last day they dropped the flows again, and you could tell the fish were beginning to leave the banks/shallows. My guess is that by now most of the fish are heading for the deepest pools they can find.

I heard that in Idaho they were going to take away limits because the water levels are so low they think most of the trout are going to die anyway. I friend I talked to said it was some of the best fishing he's seen in a while with fish concentrated in deep in pools to stay in cooler water.

By Gawd I'm going fishing bout ****ing time i get a shot at it.

I heard that they're dropping the flow on the Dolores to less than 1 CFS. As far as the fish are concerned, that river is dead. 99% of the fish in that river will be dead before the end of the summer. And it will take more than a decade to recover, if it ever does. And a major side effect will the be loss of millions in revenue/local businesses as well as countless jobs. Some of thos small towns are pretty reliant on the river as well, so I won't be surprised to see several of them become ghost towns when i drie thru that area next year.

Please don't kayak down the Rio Grande Gorge again

at a lake got here late but only got on the kayak for a bit and the damn boats coming in caused quakes so I paddled back to shore.
