The Captain arrived in Colorado on July 26th and spent the majority of the following week fly fishing with his dad in Gunnison. One of our spots to fish and spend a few nights was this beautiful "cabin" on the Gunnison River. My thanks to Bill & Billy Coburn for their hospitality and for sharing their beautiful river with me and dad.

The other part of my week with dad was spent south of Gunnison on Cebolla Creek, where the fishing was outstanding! Our gracious hosts there were Wilma & Joe Youmans.
