Rainbow Trout
A very nice 18-inch rainbow trout caught on a size 20 red midge today. Not such a great photo, but a good fish.

More Tales from the Tailwater
A couple of photos from the Taylor River C&R section this week: The first one shows a nice rainbow during the release. The second photo shows the amazing colors the trout have up there below the dam.
Love is a Battlefield!
I landed this brown trout up at the Taylor River C&R yesterday. It was a nice chunky 18-inch fish, still showing signs of battle, probably from the spawn last fall. It looked like one of his buddies took a small chunk out of his Adipose fin, which is still on…
Taylor River C&R
I fished the Taylor River C&R stretch yesterday afternoon from about 1:30 PM until 5 PM. It was cold and snowing off and on, but the fishing was excellent. I can’t remember ever catching that many fish in January. It would have been an awesome day for summer. I caught…

The Deep Freeze
These are shots I took this morning of the small creek in my backyard. It was 25 below zero. Not much fishing going on lately.
Gunnison River in November
We fished the Gunnison River at a few different locations down on the lower river this week and did okay. It was definitely slower than last week, but we got some decent fish here and there. This rainbow here was about 18 inches and gave me a good run.
Gunnison River
Dave, Chris, and I fished the Gunnison River yesterday down at Neversink. We had a nice afternoon and landed several good fish, including some really nice rainbows like this one Chris caught below.
