QUOTE (kmontoya911) O. K. No pictures, but the drought is over. I got to go fly fishing today. I belly boated Parvin up in Red feather. Normally, I either get skunked or catch 2 fish. Usually I get skunked. I have gone to this lake since I was about 10, so over 30 years on this artificial flies and lures lake. Today, I landed 9 fish, all rainbows. Smallest, and most, 10.5 in. A couple 15-16 in. One 17 and one 18 in. It's the best opening day, and by far the best day ever on this lake, I have had. Thank you, that is all. Parvin! ![]() I'm very familiar with that lake but don't think I've fished it since about 1990 and it fished well at that time too. I think it's always been a research lake.... do you still have to check-in and out and log information on every catch? That was kinda cool, my friend and I got to know the regular guy who manned the shack there at the time. There are some monsters in that lake, watch your toes! ![]() ![]() ![]() Really glad that you had a great day there and I wish you had some pics, brings back some nice memories thinking about that place. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

It is still a research lake.
You have to check in and out, but it is mostly by paper now. I haven't seen someone in the hut for a few years now. I thought this was the coolest lake when I was a kid because it was the only place I knew of that was artificial flies and lures only. I now know that that is not uncommon, but it still is a special place because of how important it was to me as a kid. The only camara I have right now is my droid, but my luck, I would have dropped it in the lake. I plan on getting out some this summer, so I hope to be able to post something up with pics. -------------------- |

Hi all,
I just got back from spending the better part of this week fly-fishing the Frying Pan near Basalt. Stayed on the river at the Taylor Creek Cabins which have about a mile of private water on the Pan. Sure beats the heck out of any hotels/motels I've ever stayed in. Full kitchens, bedrooms, everything. A bit rustic... but that's the way I like it. Very fun and I highly recommend it if you are the fly fishing sort. Many nice Bows, Browns, an a few Cutts. Here's one of the better Bows (maybe 22"-23").... ![]() -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

The only thing keeping off the stream is 700 miles of distance. Nice looking fish... I can't wait to get back there!
