Colorado Backcountry: Fly Fishing Brainard Lakes - IPW - 08.19.2007

AKD and I went up for a quick half day to fish some area around Brainard Lakes in Indian Peaks Wilderness. AKD has two days on the river and has already out fished me both days! He scored 4 or 5 nice brookies on the day and lost zero flies. I had a brookie or two, and a really nice cutty and lost a fly or two. Fished with my dad's 9ft 5 weight, which was difficult in the small alpine stream setting.

Fat brookie:
