I arrived at Taylor Park on Wednesday evening, after slowly making my way up from Santa Fe. I took the back route, as I wanted to look at a couple creeks south of Gunnison. The views were stunning as I crossed over Cumberland Pass (12,000 ft.). Small thunderstorms blanketed the park area west of the Collegiate Peaks.
I saw this little fellow running along the road near Willow Creek.
John Allison fishing the Taylor River a couple miles upstream from the Dinner Station Camp Ground. On Friday morning, John and I climbed Mt. Yale. Click on the link for that story.
Here's Frank fishing the Gunnison River a couple miles downstream from Almont. Frank's hooked into a nice sized illegal Kokanee that we were certainly not illegally fishing for. He eventually lost this illegal fish on purpose so that I wouldn't have evidence of his illegal fishing actions
John and Frank discuss the day's fishing around the campfire.
Above, John Allison fishing on Texas Creek. Below, John hoists one of the large Texas Creek browns out of the water.
