Once when I must have been about 8 years old my parents took us on the narrow
gage railroad trip from Durango to silverton and about half way thru the trip
the train stopped to let a fisherman off. They said they would pick him up on
the way back to Durango on the next day's trip. I thought HOW COOL and have
always wordered about doing a trip like that. does anyone know someone who has
done that, I still think about that once in a while.

I did that once, back in '88 or so. It was pretty cool.
The river in the canyon is fast, deep whitewater. I
caught about a dozen rainbows, about 8-12 inches or so,
by fishing the pocket water around the edges of the
main current.

The hot fly was an elk hair caddis, and the fish would
nail it just as the current started to drag it under.
Bright boy that I am, that only happened four or five
times before I noticed what was happening, and started
dragging the fly under on purpose.
