River: Upper Colorado
Put-in/Take-out: Pumphouse to Radium 4.5 miles
Flow: 650 cfs
Other boaters: Toby's boat w/Mark
Weather: Sunny, highs 60s.
After I'd packed it all in for the season, Toby gives me a call for one more float on the Upper C - "Never put your boat away until mid-November," he tells me.
Glad I went. Only other people on the river were fishermen, and there were plenty.
Mark & Toby had their fishing gear, Mark caught a couple.
Every time I take out my boat, I'm thinking that I'll take my fishing gear along... but never do it. Too busy rowing my boat to do any serious fishing.
Saw a few bighorns just before the canyon. Stopped at the Radium hot springs and warmed my feet. Another fine day drinking whisky on the river.
