hi all. hope everyone got out and fished this weekend. ;D
well i got out and caught a few. i fished on saturday from 12:00 to 2:30 caught 5 rainbows. i fished in about 8 fow caught them on either a pink atomic ant tipped with mealworm or an orange bucktail with nightcrawler on it. the funny thing is i had to have both tied on my line at the same time the pink on top anfd the orange about 18" below otherwise they would not hit. anyways the cabins up there are real nice. i even got my wife out on the ice(her first time) although the snow around the lake was 2 feet thick and we got a real good workout. sorry so long. here are some pictures.

sorry so long. the cabin is 60 bucks a night and sleeps 6. we went through glenwood canyon on saturday. the colorado looks like it is starting to show signs on runoff. what a great trip ;D

Is there a phone number or web site for the cabins? I have fished Sylvan in the summer but never caught anything, but the scenery is beautiful! I would like to find out more about the cabins if possible?

 

[afishman]

just go to the colorado state parks website and you can reserve there or find out info

Think thats the same picture twice? Looks like a great time. Was the weather nice? You and your no coat ice fishing.

 

[afishman]

yeah my wife noticed i put the same picture twice but i will post the other picture. it was 29 degrees according to my truck thermometer. as long as the wind wasn't blowing it was nice ;D

 

[afishman]

sorry fellas that is the second fish

Ice fishing without a coat in that kind of temp. You have my respect Afishman. You are a true mountaineer or just plain crazy.

 

[afishman]

if you ask my wife, i am looney ;D as well as everyone here at work as i only wear tank tops to work all year long. epic also thinks i am crazy >

Afisherman be careful the top pic and how you are dressed might cause frost bite to the mid section.

 

[afishman]

yeah i have to thank the wife for that flattering shot. ???

afishman, like me, stays warm from a different kind of "insulation" and it's all natural!
;D

Thanks for the post.

 

[jamiehughes]

all these years i though i was overweight, now i know i'm just well insulated, good to know, the skinny people got nothing on me ,except in the summer time. ;D

My mom always referred to my stature as husky and we husky or slightly chubby if one wants to be rude are so far ahead of all the thin people when the not so far in the future ice age hits.

yeah i can go a long time without a meal in case the bird flu hits >
