Fishing the Conejos

We drove up the road a few miles to fish in one of the public access leases. We fished for a couple of hours, with the only action one fish on for about 3 seconds. Marianne saw an American Dipper along the river, an uncommon bird, as well as a couple of water snakes next to the river.

We went back to the car for lunch, and then drove upriver, what seemed like a very long way on a dirt road. We stopped in a meadow and fished, again without success. We figured out later that if we had driven a couple more miles, we would have reached Platoro reservoir. We arrived at the camper in a steady rain, ate dinner, and closed out the evening with a game of Skipbow.
