Bob has been having some great luck fishing. He caught these at Simon Canyon--2 1/2 miles from our campground. They were 14 - 16" fish. Last night he caught one over 20" but as he was bringing him in the big guy broke the leader and swam away. Strong fish, fast current with #22 Blue Wing Olive flies and 6x tippet. Some great dry fly action...


















































































I was busy snapping shots of a few insects. Not an easy thing to do when the wind is blowing the branches...













We had a beautiful sunrise the other morning.

We stopped at an elk ranch 6 miles from Aztec and found this nice bull.


















With all the gas and oil exploration going on here we see a lot of these pump jacks around here. I like seeing them because my dad used to work for Husky Oil Co out of Cody Wyo. Great memories.

Today we are in Aztec, doing laundry, getting groceries, etc. It is chilly here today,,only about 45 degrees and very windy.
