No fish pics from Colorado?

No but this is my best from today. LOL
Plus (2) 16 and a 14.
We did go fishing but spent more time looking (157 miles the first day) for places to fish and took pictures in the process. Trout were the most available fish since we were at the headwaters of the Colorado.
We did fish around Shadow Mountain Lake and the pump canal for a few hours twice and I did catch a 14" brown trout on a roostertail but didn't have the camera. They are nothing like our BT, it was beautiful with red in it's coloration.
Rented a pontoon boat for the day at Lake Granby but it was for pulling the grand-kids around and hanging out. We did have some follows and some very light hits.
A flora picture.
The sun going down on our last night there.
In closing, I drove out and back, a little over 4000 miles in six days and when it came to fishing, being in my 70's at an altitude close to 9000 ft. I'm no longer into steep banks some times a hundred feet or so high and that is why the canal was so enticing. I know that I could do it if it were 19 years ago when at 55 my youngest son, now 43, climbed a mountain out there starting at 9500 ft (that's the altitude that my kids lived at) to the summit at about 13,200 ft. and not a gradual climb.
In the end, although the trip was very memorable, I was very happy to get back home to do some bass fishing.
PS: I also found out that I can't handle the altitude like I once did but can throw a football with my grandson for thirty minutes down at 6000 ft.
