Colorado Backcountry: STOP Closing Our Land: Pemberton, BC - 10.11.2007

Please print out and sign this petition, return via registered mail. This will ensure that your voice is heard. Far too often we get some wilderness nazi or some other boulder tree hugger type that wants to close down access to a certain areas. It is your time to fight back and help your fellow riders. Now, we are based in the states but we have many friends and contacts in Canada, who clued us in on these new proposed closures in British Columbia. This case in Canada seems to be set to the same tune as most of these proposals in the US, some looser skier or snowshoer thinks they deserve not to hear my snowmobile. Here are areas that are effected:

Face Mountain
Peterson Valley
Rhododendron
Upper Lillooet River
Pebble Glacier and North Creek
Noel Creek and Hope Creek
Upper Soo Valley
Callaghan Valley, Rainbow
Phelix Creek Elaho
Glendenning and Simms
Meager Valley

Please click here to download the petition and action document. Remember registered mail works best! More information here. PS. Go ski in a national park or wildreness area. Watch out for horse shit though!

Colorado Backcountry: Fly Fishing Delaney & Wyoming - 09.15.2007

Got out fly fishing with the boys, we camped at Delaney Buttes for an extended weekend. Made our way up to some private water on the Little Snake River in Wyoming on Saturday. Fishing was good, weather was worse. Lots of wind! It was nice to catch fish over 20". Mike scored a huge 4 or 5 pounder out of the south lake.

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.
