Thanks for the advice Don! I just got back and ended up spending most of my fishing time on a small reservoir just south of Nucla called Miramonte. I fished entirely from shore throwing lures and ended up catching quite a few fish even when the weather turned bad. They were all rainbows and boy were they fat and sassy! The average size was probably about 15-16 inches with the largest measuring out at 21 inches with an 11.5 inch girth. She sure gave me a good time on the 4 lb. test I was using! The only thing that would have made it better would have been another species or two in the mix but I'll get over it.
Boy was that some beautiful country down there in the shadow of Lone Cone peak with a fresh snow cap!
