MemberWent to a couple places. They were cold.

River One:
We caught some fish.

And, ripped some lips.



River Two:

This place was actually colder, but the fish were prettier.

Not huge, but made us smile. We like to smile.

I went home, this made me sad. I didn’t smile.

Interim report to come:

MemberSon fishing, his first Largemouth.

Note to self: when holding rod, fish and camera while trying to get your son and fish in picture- you should really turn on auto mode.

He’s a pimp:

Trip two with son: Guilt trip and teach by example.
Have son walk around behind new anglers as they struggle and pick up their trash.
Angler

His trash, Hudson cleaned up and handed to him afterwords. LOL

To poor salt into his wounds – Hudson asked him, while pointing out a rising fish, why he couldn’t catch it.
That brings us to March I think…. March trip to come I guess next post.

MemberMarch had a redfesh trip canceled, had to go somewhere.
So went to this place they call the Grand Canyon, maybe you’ve seen it?

Fished a bit too, some up high:

Fish are in the darndest places?

We found midges at six thousand feet.

Didn’t seem to hook anything there, tried a new spot.

Go figure we found something:

More of March to come a small stream with tiny smallmouth & Colorado.

MemberSmall streams are my favorite. Small fish are just a bonus.

How cool is this, 200 year old graffiti?

Water in the desert…..

An eight inch smallmouth on an ought-weight. What a hoot!

Day two let’s see what down-town Durango has to offer:
Some W’s.
Water

Stage left, WallMart.

And finally the last W – wierd dudes.. oh wait that’s us.

I think there is one or two more trips left in March…. hmm

MemberSome New Mexico shiz:

Yeah shooting reflection of fishscapes in glasses, kind of my thing.

Nice little bow-nita

A grip and grin, if there ever was one 🙂

A net and grin, sans grin.

We caught too many fish, so we headed home.
Andele Senoir!

Wait! Un Mas Alto.
AZ gold to bust the cherry or put the cherry on the top – depends on how you see it.

Oh-well off to Pyramid for a week – out.

Member*Voice-over*
“Tonight on Animal Planet, never before seen footage of the elusive mid-western muskie fisherman, as he migrates out of his home range and tries to cast into a canyon, and catch fish on ashpalt. An Animal Planet exclusive premiere. We answer the question, does muskie fishing drive you insane, or is insanity a prerequisite?”

MemberIt is funny how differnetly you look at pictures when you have had a little training/education on what makes these pics so good. I mean I would have thought they were good, but now I think they are great!
I love the ones of your son, and the story about him picking the trash and giving it to the guy, and asking him why he cant catch the fish, ahh the innocense.
