Colorado Backcountry: Fly Fishing Rocky Mountain National Park - 07.13.2007

Alex and I went up to do some recon in the park today and ended up hitting major pay dirt. 5 or 6 miles back we stopped at a calm alpine lake near treeline. Dry flied the mozzie all day, caught 3 or 4 really nice cuttthroats and a couple of nice brookies. After slaying the lake we made our way down to the outlet for some more action. Shots of some of the fish I got today. Alex caught a couple of nice size cutts and a brookie or two. 10 or 11 miles total on the day, Alex missed the turn off on the trail and put in an extra 3 or so! Beautiful day and amazing mostly Colorado native fish. Some pictures:

Edit: For all you fucking haters out there, we fish for fun - catch and release. Oh yea, the cabin is on private property. Step AWAY from your computer. Also, try not to steal our photos like this jackass from canada: http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa47/removed/ .. if you do.. at least get the trout type right. Thanks
