True Headwater of Big T 05Sep13
Above "The Pool" on the Big Thompson is a fierce wild spot called "Forest Canyon." Miles of dead fall, plunge pools and the most difficult travel imaginable. I was there today and landed a couple dozen cuts on lime trude, stimi, and ants up top and my chartreuse & olive tiny BH below. Most fish were 8-12" but I caught two bigger. And I caught a nice brown to start the trek. I climbed all the way into "Raspberry Pk," and in fact ate wild raspberries for lunch. My body paid for the 8 mile experience though as weird cramping is happening again and I'm covered in soot and charcoal marks from a major burn there. I also biffed down a waterfall and broke my GLoomis on the way back down... I guess it was just feelin' left out. Drivin' out i did see a huge elk with 16 point rack and a host of ladies with him. No pics of any of this as the phone died, bummer but Colorado is so cool.
