| Here’s some
pictures of the 4 Oct Fly Fishing Excursion for our class reunion. These
came from Jim Bettcher....thus why he’s the only one showing some
of the rainbows we caught. All five of us caught fish....just that others
didn’t ask their guide to take pictures ?? too busy catching. Thorburn
had several large ones I was told in the 20" range and lost those
big ones. We had rainbows ranging from 14 inches up to one that was landed
that was probably 24" and 5 lbs but I landed it, and neither had
a camera with them....and that’s no fish story....honor code truth
??. All said they very much enjoyed and were worn out at the end of the
day wading in the two miles of private water on the North Fork of the
South Platte, up in Pine, CO (1 hr 20 min from Springs). We had gorgeous
fall weather, about 70 degrees, with one slight 5 minute shower in the
afternoon. The Guide service provided excellent grilled hamburgers, cheese,
Hatch chiles, lettuce, tomato, etc...and I provided some beers...interesting
after late lunch, less fish were caught (h’mmm). Doug
