Just got back saturday evening. The weather was pretty good as it rained lightly almost everyday triggering some good hatches. All fish were caught and released happily on either royal wulffs, green copper johns, or hoppers. We caught more fish than I have pictures of, we just didnt want to take pictures of every single fish. To get into the good fish you had to get away from the road a good ways.

I wish I was still there. At one point I was hinting at a job at the Fox Creek Store. Which by the way has new owners who are exceptionally nice and informative (and from Amarillo, Texas by the way ). The fishing selection in the store has even grown since they've taken over.

nice bunch of photos randall- looks like you were in the pinnacles from some of the photos

they did not want the hoppers in the rio do los pinos but the trout were very willing at elk and grouse creeks

Beautiful pics Randall. Makes me wish I was there still. That was one nice cut you caught there! Isn't that train ride fun?

randall, nicely done. you make the fwffers proud!!! especially love that cutthroat. we had a great week, too, at southfork. let's talk and reminise soon!!

Nice pics. Looks like you did well. Headed there myself in about 3 weeks.

Awesome, AWESOME photos! As many times as I have been to Southern Colorado, I have not fished the Conejos. Beautiful, breathtaking views in your photos. As it is always said, I'm sure the photos do not do it justice...

I'm planning a trip to Colorado when I get back from Iraq, whether it be next week or October - we're waiting on word from the military. I may just have to drop in on the Conejos while I'm there!

Randall, Thanks for the report. awesome photos. I'll be sure to post ours when we get back.

How were the water temps? We are going up next week and are planning on wet wading? Good idea or are waders still needed?

Thanks

You should be able to wet wade. It may be a bit cold, but just get your feet wet and cold and you wont even be able to feel it. That's what I do.

Oh and try to not go past that certain area.

After Derik see that hat, you have just made a new best friend!!

Nice photos / report!

You lost me I see no hat(I assume you meant that) and I still dont get it.

Thanks for the re-assurance. We are trying to keep it light. Gonna be mixing in some hikes to the high lakes.

You ever hike Elk Creek to the 2nd or 3rd meadows? I'm thinking/hoping it should be quiet up there.

It was a joke, buddy.

I think its funny dude. No hard feelings here. Just havin fun on here.



I still havent bought one.

Nice pics.
