Team Realtree Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread The stream trout were not (and did not) coopoerate. The trout that were caught were the ones schooling in the reservoir. At that point they relied on some guys that had come up there for several years and they used Berkley power baits on a split shot rig (Wasn't that the rig guys? Correct me if I'm wrong).

Chrud Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread [ QUOTE ] OH !! and Steve B. ,,, NO MORE of those darn Mountian Passes .... my knuckles are still white as heck .... Has anyone ever been 14,000 + feet and look out the passenger window to see only a verticle drop ?? It ain't pretty ,,,, [/ QUOTE ] Oh yeah! There were a couple of those we went on during our trip to Colorado last summer. We actually went twice. I thought it was awesome! The only bad thing is what to do when two cars meet on a one-groove road and it is 14,000' down the one side. Great pictures Luke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Those other hunters/fisherman we met down at the lake were awesome guys. Apparently one of their relatives still has a cabin in Tin-cup. They come there every year to hunt and fish. The one fella's name is Don McBride, and owns and operates Logan County Asphalt CO., in Guthrie, Oklahoma. We traded business cards. The trout were climbing on for those guys really good when we first got there. We were using crank baits, ...mepps, and buzz-bombs, with no success at all. The older fella (forget his name now ) offered to hook us up with the right stuff. He told me where his tackle box was and told me to go over and help myself. Now that's hospitality. As soon as we got hooked up and fishing, I went up to the truck and got some of my blacktail pepperoni, that I brought, and hooked them up with that. Then of course, out came the Oklahoma deer jerky I had 5 or 6 strikes on my bait, while I was busy chewin the jerky with these guys. That was just as good as catching fish in my book. That Power bait on a small hook about 2-1/2 ft from the split-shot is the ticket for catching those rainbows alright. It's just too bad the bight went off, shortly after we got hooked up. You could stand in the cold all day with that beautiful view starring you in the face though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just sorry I was too chicken to look down long enough to take a few pictures of a 14,000+ foot verticle drop... OH !! and buckee you'll be happy to know I safely brought home a package of that Blacktail Pepperoni, and man everyone here is addicted to it.. I actually had to hide some... THANKS MAN !!

texastrophies Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread I got all 314 of my pics uploaded, but will wait for Snapper before I post the link to them. Gregg & Pete tried to leave on Thursday morning, but got snowed in at Colorado Springs and had to spend an extra night there. They finally got out of Colorado on Friday morning, so hopefully Gregg will get on tomorrow, who knows when Pete will make a post. Will post some of my experiences and pics of the trip on Monday. Have a good weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
