Colorado River

After camping the night before I decided to try the upper Colorado River for the day.  I walk a half mile up before I start trying to avoid the people on the lower stretch.  I end up working upstream for 45 minutes and catching nothing, despite switching patterns a few times.  I finally settle on a elk hair caddis and it's on.  I am into fish the rest of the day catching browns, brookies and cutties.  I fish for about 5 hours and by the end have caught close to sixty fish.  To finish the day off right, I see a moose feeding at my pullout spot.
