You're a lucky SOB!!!!
I tried to stuff the ballot box but didn't get picked this year......

It's the North Fork of the Poudre - small stream BIG fish.

Here's some pix from last year:

I remember those pix, Willi, great stuff as usual. Best one is the Adams
tat on Charley :-)

By the way, it looks like (despite the "lure" of your photos), a Colorado
trip isn't in the cards for me this year after all, unfortunately! If the
situation changes, though, I'll keep you posted.

Charlie Wilson (the big guy with the Tat) and Snoop - Bob Skinner

That's a section of river downstream from where you, Rusty and I fished.

It gets fished four weekends(I believe) a year by about ten people at a
time. You get a "beat" of about a half mile or so. Charlie W knows more
than me he was a guide there last year.

Thanks WIlli. That's about what I figured. Shoot, we'll have ta hook
up. I know Rusty'd be down. Nice to think about that place just sitting
there being wild.

Your pal,

What he said. The Nature Conservancy only allows that place to be fished
a couple of times a year, and I have been there on the first day and the
last. It amazes me how quickly the trout "get educated", and how dumb they
get again the following year. There are a lot of wild places left; most of
them are that way because they are too remote, and many of them are private
property, and some belong to TNC. It would better suit TNC if nobody ever
fished Phantom Canyon, but opening it up a couple of weekends a year sure
generates a lot of cash donations.
