Radioactive Reservoir

 I went to Taylor Resevoir.  Huge, with glorious views of the Sawatch mountain range.  Just below the dam, there were about 40 fishernen packed into about a 50 yard stretch of Taylor River.  Curiosity got the better of me so I pulled over to watch.  I noticed that 100 yards downstream there was a fellow geezer but all by himself.  He had a huge brown trout in his net.  As I watched a bit more the river was swarming with similar sized beasts.  This was why all those guys were there.

I hurried back to the truck for my rod etc.  It was "popcorn" rises everywhere but the fish were huge.  It took lots of experimenting but I finally got a big brown on.  Personal best for certain, around 23 inches, equalling brother Alan's best.  Had a monster rainbow on later, much bigger than the brown but he wiggled free as I tried to land him.  Got 2 more browns, slightly smaller than the first.

What an outing!  Reservoir must have radioactive water.

Personal best!
