I had an opportunity to fish the Gunnison River outside of Crested Butte with my son last week. It was his first fly trip ever and my first trout/river trip. We had a blast. He out-fished me, 8-6. We caught a nice mixture of rainbows and browns. His first fish: Fish on! The big fish of the day. It went close to 20":

Very nice. Looks like he had a blast. I returned on the 10th and fished the Gunnison 2 days. The fishing is great this year! Better than it has been in the past three or four.

The driving force and secret desire of every bass fisherman, is to one day be a crappie fisherman............Could it be that the good Lord just smilies and looks the other way when a fisherman tells a lie?
