My folks honeymooned in Gunnison and built their retirement cabin there too. Mighty pretty place the western slope of the rockies, summer and winter. Good people there too.

The Gunnison River is Brewer’s favorite place to fish because it’s in a canyon;
I believe it is the best ratio of width to depth of any canyon in the country, it is deep and narrow, hiking the Black Canyon of the Gunnison River is scary.

He practices catch-and-release.. excellent. nothing like the sounds of babbling water to soothe one’s nerves.

Bless these fine young men and women who train those who go in harm’s way to protect our nation and its peoples, as messed up as some of them are..

Thanks for your service posting service threads, there is a lot going on even on quiet days on FR Creek... life is like a beach , ya build it one sand at a time. 8-}

I'm a catch-and-release guy, too, but when it comes to snagging a rainbow out of a cool, gin-clear mountain stream, all bets are off. Trout Almondine with a side of wild rice and green beans is the fare of the evening. They are the most succulent, mild fresh-water fish that the Lord ever graced us with. Always swimming, always drawing spring-pure, gurgling water thought their gills, living on a diet consisting mostly of small water bugs. And built like little submarines to do so. Their scales are so miniaturized to allow for hydrodynamic navigation in their native environment, it's generally - and understandably - called skin. But catfish they ain't. They are the Filet Mignon of North American freshwater cuisine. And you can quote me on that.

CORRECTION IN ORDER:

Fly-fishing differs from other forms of fishing because the individual stands in a river with waders and uses an artificial bug as bait, using an ancient**SCOTTISH** angling method.

There , it is fixed.

I know two guys who fly fish on Lake Travis in central Texas. One of them caught a 14.5 striped bass a few summers ago. That fish took him for ride across the lake which is several hundred yards. He said he had to watch out for all the cigarette and other boats that were running up and down the lake.
