Low Flow Fall Browns

[jeepster]

Here's a few pics I took along the colorado new mexico border. Lots of cool stuff to see on the way to some recon and hopefully a little fishing.

Salt river canyon arizona my gateway from hell


Apache country


Narrow gauge country


Habitat restoration country


Fall aspen country


Elk ranching country


Bison ranching country


Finally the river


At low flow


Still nice water


The inhabitants






Took a long shortcut to another famous river via the dam dirt road


Revealing view of the river valley below


Crossing the dam


Finally the river


Just went back down to low flows


Which made for some happy inhabitants


Good trip but wish I had a good pic of this football I caught

Very nice. Those rock wings are really out of the water compared to last summer and I thought last summer had low flows. I'm going to have to get to that valley sometime in the fall. Thanks for taking us along.

Great Pics...love the area...I grew up in Chama as a young boy where I walked behind my father and when he hooked a big one - I got to land him. Will be going to the Headwaters this summer with my 3 boys for a backpacking campig trip to continue the tradition. Thank you.
