KK's on the Colorado River

When you are over fishing and floating the Colorado River from Pumphouse to Statebridge, you should plan your lunch stop at Rancho Del Rio and KK's World Famous BBQ. A mainstay in the area for many years.

Stop in and have KK whip you up a few rib, maybe one of those double stack burgers with kabalsa and  jalapeno's, or maybe just a giant dawg. All will fill your gut and help you set you on your way to catching fish the rest of the afternoon. Oh yeah, don't forget to bring your cooler of beer to the stand,
your allowed to pop a cold one of your own.

The Final Resting Place

On the way to the river, you pass great visual sights, Sunday was no different. The sun rising over the final resting spot of so many famous and great Howard residents. God bless.

TTTTTTTTwisted.....

Like the photographer, things seem to get a little twisted from time to time.

I just love barbed wire, think it cool, shots well. Its just cool.

Chasing Salmonflies on the Rio

Once again we gave chase to the elusive salmon fly hatch on the Rio Grande River. Although not seasoned veterans on this river, we try and give it a valiant effort every year or so. This year was no different, but the turnout was the same. 

Crossed the river at the first sighting and it was stunning, clear bank to bank, flows 900 at the top , 1450 at the bottom, heart was going pitter patter.  We had our good friends in tow, so it would be a good day regardless of the bugs and fish. 

 As you can see the weather did not disappoint, nor did the fishing.  There were no big bugs to be seen, but the fish were definitely eating stones under the surface, action is not far behind. Later in the day the fish were up eating on the top.

 Newby Karen on the sticks, did a good job. rowed most of the day, even put her husband on fish.

Another lucky man.
