Fly fishing trip to Southern Colorado

One antidote for turkey season withdrawal for me is fly fishing for trout. In early June we went to the upper Rio Grande and tributaries near Creede, Colorado. The severe drought meant that the water levels were much lower than usual for that time of year, but it also meant that the fishing was some of the best we've ever had. The big salmon flies were also starting to hatch and some nice sized trout were looking up.
My wife doesn't hunt and likely never will, but she did start fly fishing with me a few years ago. I had more fun watching everything come together for her than I did fishing myself.
We also checked out this old fluorite mine.
This guy was holding watch over a small pond for rising trout.
