Hi Mike, My old buddy Joe, a long-standing member of the Fogies Five (and an even longer-standing member of the “B.A.D.” club when we were CU grad students), and I went on a hike up to the alpine meadows of the Crater Lakes cirque, 30 miles west of Boulder. Along with us came Wayne, Joe’s […]
This guy fished for much of our stay in Plymouth. Here he is at six in the morning patiently casting for anything with gills. To the left of the guy above, and out of the suns rays, this guy caught the same number of fish. Nada.
