CC, You know that I'll dang near lose my voice with a captive audience
(g). Especially when I've got to shout over the roar of the Defender!

When I rode in it, I just let Charlie do the talking and (on the way home)
took a little nap. :-)

Aw, it's a nice quiet ride - it was the boredom that put you to sleep. g
BTW,
that stream we visited is fishing real well these days, wish it could have
been
better weather when you were here.

Makes no mind, you got a few good pictures out of that trip. :-)

Bruce, do you (or Charlie Wilson or Willi or...) ever fish the Gunnison?
That movie that Mike posted a link to earlier this week has me salivating.
Looks like quite a place to fish. Just wondering if any of you have been
out that way.

I do, and while the overall area is great, the Gunnison itself can be,
well, a pain, what with tourists, kayakers, traffic, etc. If you go,
try to get up into the passes/valleys/little streams in the area. I
didn't see the movie, but if this has something to do with Taylor Park
and the big trout at the spillway, that's among the least of a reason to
go to an area well worth visiting. Every time I've driven by or stopped
to watch, it's a bunch of tourists standing within sight of their cars,
the park road, and huge trout who aren't the least bit interested in
them or their offerings.

The cool thing about Mid May is that the river might be going 5000cfs
and there's hardly anyone around then. Wading is tough or impossible.

It's a great time to float! C'mon down.

I'll let you know when I get my schedule figured out and maybe I just will. g

Didn't catch the cross posting on that one, sorry!

The movie (http://www.feltsoulmedia.com/download.html) features the Black
Canyon portion, which is apparently quite difficult to access on foot (it's
a canyon, after all!) and has one HECK of a salmon fly hatch in June.
