FISH CATCHING TRAVEL

Knockin Tail Lures by My Coast Outdoors

  Inc.

I have been consumed with finishing the garage and it is on its last step, the final inspection of the electric.  Just when I thought it was over the last thing confused the crap out of me, the motion lights on the front of the garage would not work.  But with electric to the lights, along with everything else working, made no sense.  Turned out the sensor on BOTH lights are bad and once that was disconnected, they worked like a charm..  (China, what do you expect.)

I am picking the Boss up today at the airport and can’t wait to show her the work.  The garage was her mandatory and after tons of hurdles, it is ready for her inspection and I can finally get back to the Colorado lifestyle.  It has been a real job but time to put it to bed and have some real fun this week.  The area is full of festivals and activities and she has half the week already planned out.  And of course it will include fresh trout in the pan out of a high mountain lake I plan on taking her to.  Then back to Texas and another kind of trout beatdown.

As we love to do we were out before daylight cracked for our morning drive.  The plan was to head up to the Rio Grand Reservior and see what we could see and suffice to say it was a home run.  And you all know I love me some Bighorns and they did not dissapoint.  The difference was we encontered 2 groups of rams, which had been missing in action the last month.  So without further ado here you go.

Our first spot of the morning which led to the big bunch of rams.

If that does not get your outdoor juices flowing not sure what will.  What a hoss!

Just a bunch of big boys eating breakfast.

Another big boy.

The Rio Grand Reservior at 10,000 ft on a cool Colorado morning.  And notice the snow pack, still plenty of snow in the high mountains.

Just cute.

And then we scored as I spotted a moose in the brush.  A little guy, he was by himself but moose are just plain cool.

Moose are not exactly rare, they are just quite a bit more solitary than other animals so it is a treat to see one.  We just feel privileged to live here and be able to see all that Colorado has to offer.  The morning was a big success and we will continue to keep it up in our quest for the perfect picture.

A Knockin Tail Smallie

That is a world class Hog!

Clyde and my brother are up to their usual high jinks in Canada.  He sent this along as it was the biggest of the approximately 150 fish they caught today.  Jerkbait, spinnerbait, you name it they used it and the 3.25 Glass Minnow Knockin Tail produced the monster of the day.  Staying at Muskie Bay Resort on their annual trip it looks like their timing could not be any better.  When you travel that far you never know but Lake of the Woods never seems to disappoint. If you have never visited it is a true bucket list trip on world class water.  Can’t wait to see more pics.

Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoy chasing them.  I will get some mule deer pics up soon as the bucks are just starting to spout their horns.  It will be interesting to watch the local herd in our block to see as the big boy horns start to show.  The next week will be burning the candle at both ends with the Boss before heading back to Texas.  So keep stopping in and thanks for reading my stuff.

Good Luck and Tight Lines
