Floatin' the Gunny with My Honey 12Jul13

It was gorgeous and fun in Taylor Pk. We camped at Rosy Ln and fished the Taylor, East and Gunnison. We set camp on Thu and kicked back. On Fri AM we fished the Taylor near camp and both caught browns and cutthroat on caddis and tiny CJs… we had a 3:30pm appt with Joel the guide to float the upper Gunny so ate lunch streamside then headed to the East near Roaring Judy where I was skunked but Kala landed a nice rainbow on a nymph. It started to pour on our way to Gunnison so we shared a Hoptastic IPA at Gunnison Brewery waiting for the storm to pass. What’s not to like a brewery with a stonefly slamming a pint as their logo. Fortunately the rain abated and we boarded a well-used catamaran float fish craft rigged for guide plus front and rear casters. We floated till dark and landed plenty of fish… I caught a couple nice 18’ browns on caddis and white streamer once (no pics) and others including rainbows on two bit hookers. Kala caught a mess of fish both browns and ‘bows. It wasn't epic but I was satisfied… especially that Kala got into quite a few fish and really improved her casting and fishing with a competent guide’s instruction. We stopped along Cottonwood Ck on the way back to the Springs and caught gobs of nice brookies between the beaver ponds.
