I took a trip to my favorite destination a few months early this year. Normally I go up every summer. Playing with the 10 day weather forecast almost got me snowed out from getting there but a little change of plans in route and an extra couple hours driving, I arrived. Beautiful weather was about to hit the region for my entire stay. Short sleeves and waders on a beautiful river was the daily grind. The most unusual part of this trip was I never saw another angler anywhere for the five days I was there. You see the state of Colorado doesn't officially open until memorial day, lol.
Going through Chama was the only option to get to my destination and I had no problem getting through.

I did some small stream fishing on a trib to the big river.

In a habitat section next to the highway. I get a honk every time I'm hooked up.

Most of the time I'm on the headwaters.

Where I usually catch mostly browns I get into bows all day.

What a trip. The first time I have been here in the springtime. Great fishing with great weather and nobody here can only be summed up as just plain lucky.
