Fall Fishing

December is finally here and I'm slowly warming up to the idea of winter. We're currently getting pummeled with snow and the rivers are finally freezing up after a warmer than average fall which has provided some great fishing. Here's a few pics of the last 2 months.

Jon and Brian dropping into the Platte canyon...
The Platte is simply beautiful.
These guys bidded us farewell as we left the Platte, this picture was taken at about 75 yards, that's as close as I was going to get!
The Poudre is not known for big fish but it produced 2 of the largest trout of my life this fall. Of course these pics don't do them justice but you can see the girth, this fish measured 23"
This fish measured 21"
They both ate this fly which probably imitates a minnow

A couple more Cutthroat/Rainbow hybrids taken on the Poudre
That's a wrap for 08 fishing. Hopefully I'll survive the winter!
